Ray tracing is an inherent part of photorealistic image synthesis algorithms. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection with a given ray and scene. Although this …

Ray tracing is traditionally only used in offline rendering to produce images of high fidelity
because it is computationally expensive. Recent Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have …

Ray tracing has been used for years in motion picture to generate photorealistic images
while faster raster-based shading techniques have been preferred for video games to meet …

Ray tracing can generate photorealistic images with more convincing visual effects
compared to rasterization. Recent hardware advances have enabled ray tracing to be …

Hardware acceleration for ray tracing has been a topic of great interest in computer
graphics. However, even with proposed custom hardware, the inherent irregularity in the …

Optimizations for ray tracing have typically focused on decreasing the time taken to render
each frame. However, in modern computer systems it may actually be more important to …

Ray tracing is a computationally intensive rendering technique traditionally used in offline
high-quality rendering. Powerful hardware accelerators have been recently developed that …

The reality of the ray tracing technology that leads to its rendering effect is becoming
increasingly apparent in computer vision and industrial applications. However, designing …

Data movement, particularly access to the main memory, has been the bottleneck of most
computing problems. Ray tracing is no exception. We propose an unconventional solution …

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 …
