+<p>Star-SamPling proposes generators <b>well suited for use in simulation</b>:
+they have extremely long periods and low correlation. In addition of regular
+generators such as Mersen Twister or RANLUX, it relies on the <a
+href="https://www.deshawresearch.com/resources_random123.html">Random123
+library</a> to provide <b>"counter based" generators</b> that satisfy rigourous
+statistical testing.</p>
+
+<p>Beyond uniform distribution, Star-SamPling can be used to generate random
+variates from exponental, gaussian or lognormal distributions. It also
+implements uniform sampling of a triangle, a disk, a sphere, an hemisphere or a
+circle as well as the cosine weighted sampling of an hemisphere or the sampling
+of a sphere with respect to the Henyey & Greenstein function.</p>
+
+<p>Star-SamPling provides the notion of <b>proxy</b> of a random number
+generator. A proxy is used to split the random numbers of a generator in a set
+of <code>N</code> partitions, where <code>N</code> is a user defined parameter.
+Each partition is assigned to a generator that is actually a regular generator
+regarding the Star-SamPling API. The main benefit is that such generators can
+be used by different processes that <b>concurrently</b> participate to the same
+simulation since in such situation each process must ensure that it relies on
+its own set of random numbers. Star-SamPling is thus well suited to parallel
+computations that use <b>message passing</b> and/or <b>shared memory</b>
+communication models.

+
+<p>Star-VoXel is a C library whose purpose is to <b>manage volumetric
+elements</b>, named voxels, structured as a set of axis aligned cuboids. This
+library does not know anything about the volumetric data that it handles: it
+only provides data structures that partition voxels according to user criteria.
+It also implements efficient ways to <b>index voxels</b> into the space
+partitioning data structures or to access them through <b>ray-tracing</b>.</p>
+
+<p>Star-VoXel implements 2 hierarchical data structures: the <b>binary tree</b>
+and the <b>octree</b> that are used to partition 1D or 3D data, respectively.
+For both structures, data are partitionned following a bottom-top strategy: the
+caller submits the raw data to Star-VoXel that it recursively structures from
+the leaf (the user data) to to the root of the tree. The policies used to merge
+input data as well as the merge operator itself are defined by the caller;
+Star-VoXel settles for building the hierarchical structure only.</p>
+
+<p>The way data are accessed through indexing or ray-tracing can be finely
+tuned by the caller. Beyond the probe position or the ray to trace, the user
+can provide callbacks to stop the traversal at any hierarchy level, perform
+computations at the traversed node, discard leafs, <i>etc.</i> This API gives
+to the host application a <b>full control on the hierarchical data
+structures</b> while its memory representation and its accessors are still
+fully managed internally by Star-VoXel.</p>
