In this paper we present three different parallelizations of a discrete radiosity method achieved on a cluster of workstations. This radiosity method has lower complexity when compared with most of the radiosity algorithms and is based on the discretization of surfaces into voxels and not into patches. The first two parallelizations distribute the tasks. They present good performance in time but they did not distribute the data. The third parallelization distributes voxels and required the transmission of small part of the voxels between machines. It improved time while distributing data.
