N2 - The sun is one of the most important environmental elements for the human beings. To use the solar energy and sunlight, the sunshine duration is important, especially for architectural design and its related legal issues. To analyze the sunshine duration, there are several approaches, while they are not suitable to the modern computing environment. In this paper, we present a systematic way of calculating the sunshine duration based on the exact simulation of the sun paths. Furthermore, based on the modern massively parallel computer architectures and computer graphics techniques, we show the sunshine duration and we can generate the shadow accumulation maps in pseudo real time.
