HI Bill!
Every raw converter I've ever seen, uses an algorithm to demosaic (or convert)
the raw image to JPEG or TIFF. But, just one.
Interestingly, RawTherapee has a choice of 8 different algorithms, so you can
pick the one best suited to your camera or photo style. (Two are dedicated to
High ISO images.)
For those interested, a comparison of various methods (with examples) can be
found here:

Another page compares the DCB algorithm to others, including Silkypix, DXO,
Bibble and Lightroom's algorithms - among numerous others. Again, with a very
effective, interactive image which shows the differences, quite clearly. Found
here:

This and 109 pages of instructions (pdf), are keeping me busy!
The current release (v4.0.01)is a "development build", and is fairly, but not
totally stable. Needs adequate memory. But, for what it does, at the price, I
can live with it's foibles. It's open-source, and the team is working towards
a completely stable release. (For those who don't wish the troubles, the
previous, very stable release, 3.0, is still available.)
Cheers!
David.
