Validated interactive daylighting analysis for architectural design

TL;DR: This work presents an efficient and scalable method to compute global illumination solutions at interactive rates for complex and dynamic scenes, based on parallel final gathering running entirely on the GPU and demonstrates the applicability of the method to interactive global illumination, the simulation of multiple indirect bounces, and to final gathering from photon maps.

TL;DR: RadVR is introduced, a virtual reality daylighiting analysis tools, that simultaneously allows the analysis of qualitative immersive renderings and the assessment of quantitative data of physically correct daylighting simulations in a 6DOF virtual environment.

TL;DR: This dissertation introduces three tools for addressing the challenges that arise when obtaining and applying the derivatives for complex graphics algorithms, and introduces the first general-purpose differentiable ray tracer that solves the full rendering equation, while correctly taking the geometric discontinuities into account.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a comprehensive methodology for the evaluation of daylight levels in existing buildings, which comprises sample buildings of various use and their digital replicas in 3D, detailed numerical simulations and correlations of diverse point daylight factor metrics, a field investigation on residents' satisfaction with available daylight level in their homes, and a comparison between the numerical and experimental data.

TL;DR: Csikszentmihalyi as mentioned in this paper used 100 interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists to politicians and business leaders, poets and artists, as well as his 30 years of research on the subject to explore the creative process.

TL;DR: The future of integrated electronics is the future of electronics itself, and the advantages of integration will bring about a proliferation of electronics, pushing this science into many new areas.

TL;DR: Integrated circuits will lead to such wonders as home computers or at least terminals connected to a central computer, automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment as discussed by the authors. But the biggest potential lies in the production of large systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the organization of a single computer has reached its limits and that truly significant advances can be made only by interconnection of a multiplicity of computers in such a manner as to permit cooperative solution.
