We propose an unconventional solution to high-performance ray tracing that combines a ray ordering scheme that minimizes access to the scene data with a large on-chip buffer acting as near-compute storage that is spread ...

Although interactive ray tracing has been around since the late 1990s, real-time frame rates had so far only been feasible for low and mid-size screen resolutions. Recent developments in GPU hardware, that specifically ...

Monte Carlo ray tracing offers the capability of rendering scenes with large numbers of area light sources-lights can be sampled stochastically and shadowing can be accounted for by tracing rays, rather than using shadow ...

Compressed wide bounding volume hierarchies can significantly improve the performance of incoherent ray traversal, through a smaller working set of inner nodes and therefore a higher cache hit rate. While inner nodes in ...
