DGEM: 3D dust continuum radiative transfer code for method comparison
DGEM compares different computation methods for three-dimensional dust continuum radiative transfer. This simple code is based on mcpolar, translated to C++, and refactored to realize and compare radiative transfer techniques, namely Monte Carlo, Quasi-Monte-Carlo, and the Directions Grid Enumeration Method (DGEM). DGEM uses precalculated directions of the photons propagation instead of the random ones to speed up the calculations process. The code also offers a gnuplot script for plotting the resulting images.
