Scaling tests for POWDERDAY presented as wall clock time as a function of the number of cores for problems of increasing difficulty (parameterized by the total number of photons emitted). POWDERDAY generally shows strong scalability, though, at low photon-count (i.e., easy) problems, the fixed overhead costs in the preradiative transfer stage can drive some inefficiencies.
