review text: The interaction of photons with a relativistic nondegenerate gas of free electrons can be described by the Compton scattering kernel (CSK). A massively parallel system was the motivation of the presented way of viewing relativistic Compton scattering. This supercomputer enables to consider very complicated physical situations.
