MCX is a GPU-accelerated, general-purpose, physically-accurate and feature-rich 3-D light transport simulator. It is one of the fastest simulators because it can use tens of thousands of GPU threads to simulate photons in parallel.
The Package is installable in GNU Octave and offers OpenCL support for parallelization of numerical computations. It is most effective for computations which are based on large vectors or n-dimensional arrays of numbers, and mostly (but not limited to) identical element-wise operations. The user can select which available OpenCL hardware and drivers are to be used.
The Package offers new numeric data types with many built-in operations (e.g., overloaded operators). It is flexibly...
