What's a good place to discuss algorithms?

I've written a simple stochastic tracer in Java and I'm struggling with 
doing diffuse inter-reflection, and getting enough rays to hit my ambient 
"light sources".

I think Off-topic is the best place. If you mean this news server. (You
can answer to this post and the follow-up will be posted in the correct

I have also done my own renderer:

Still a lot of work to be done...
