Photon soup was a project that aimed to render an image by simulating the motion of all photons in a room. The original simulation in 1991, programmed in C by Richard Keene, took 100 Sun-1 workstations a month to render a single image. A recent revision using a smaller number of faster computers, with the programs written in the Java programming language, can simulate ten times as many photons in the same amount of time.
