Progressive Lightcuts for GPU
This consistent lightcuts algorithm achieves convergence with a fixed-memory footprint by iteratively accumulating individual lightcuts solutions, each using a different virtual-point-light (VPL) set and removing VPL clamping bias by employing a novel progressive clamping relaxation scheme.

Point-Based Global Illumination Directional Importance Mapping
This talk introduces new point-based global illumination (PBGI) adaptive cut-picking algorithms. With this approach, PBGI becomes a suitable technique for lighting and rendering scenes with high contrast and high-dynamic-range image-based lighting, and BRDFs with sharper or narrower lobes.
