In brief, the radiosity samples are kept in a structure known as an
octree. The radiosity octree is created during pre-rendering and
rendering. Therefore the nodes have to somehow share the information
they add to the octree so that they use identical copies. Francois
Dispot has solved the problem, to a large extent, in PVM-MegaPOV and
can probably enlighten you more on the subject.
