    • For ray tracing, methods, apparatus, and computer readable media provide efficient transmission and/or storage of rays between ray emitters, and an intersection testing resource. Ray emitters, during emission of a plurality of rays, identify a shared attribute of each ray of the plurality, and represent that attribute as shared ray data. The shared ray data, and other ray data sufficient to determine both an origin and a direction for each ray of the plurality, are transmitted. Functionality in the intersection testing resource receives the shared ray data and the other ray data, and interprets the shared ray data and the other ray data to determine an origin and direction for each ray of the plurality, and provides those rays for intersection testing. Rays can be stored in the shared attribute format in the intersection testing resource and data elements representing the rays can be constructed later. Programmable receiving functionality of the intersection testing resource can accommodate many ray types and other situations.

    • Some embodiments provide an architecture for establishing a multi-participant conference. This architecture has one participant's computer in the conference act as a central content distributor for the conference. The central distributor receives data (e.g., video and/or audio streams) from the computer of each other participant, and distributes the received data to the computers of all participants. In some embodiments, the central distributor receives A/V data from the computers of the other participants. From such received data, the central distributor of some embodiments generates composite data (e.g., composite image data and/or composite audio data) that the central distributor distributes back to the participants. The central distributor in some embodiments can implement a heterogeneous audio/video conference. In such a conference, different participants can participate in the conference differently. For instance, different participants might use different audio or video codecs. Moreover, in some embodiments, one participant might participate in only the audio aspect of the conference, while another participant might participate in both audio and video aspects of the conference.

    • Systems, methods, and computer readable media embodying such methods provide for allowing specification of per-ray clipping information that defines a sub-portion of a 3-D scene in which the ray should be traced. The clipping information can be specified as a clip distance from a ray origin, as an end value of a parametric ray definition, or alternatively the clipping information can be built into a definition of the ray to be traced. The clipping information can be used to check whether portions of an acceleration structure need to be traversed, as well as whether primitives should be tested for intersection. Other aspects include specifying a default object that can be returned as intersected when no primitive was intersected within the sub-portion defined for testing. Further aspects include allowing provision of flags interpretable by an intersection testing resource that control what the intersection testing resource does, and/or what information it reports after conclusion of testing of a ray.
    • 体现这种方法的系统,方法和计算机可读介质提供允许规定限定其中应该追踪射线的3-D场景的子部分的每个射线限幅信息。 剪辑信息可以被指定为与光线原点的剪辑距离,作为参数光线定义的结束值,或者可以将剪辑信息内置到要跟踪的光线的定义中。 剪切信息可以用于检查是否需要遍历加速结构的部分,以及是否要对原语进行交叉测试。 其他方面包括指定一个默认对象,该对象可以在为测试定义的子部分内没有原语相交时返回。 其他方面包括允许提供可由交叉点测试资源解释的标志,该交叉点测试资源可以控制交叉点测试资源的作用,和/或在射线测试结束之后报告哪些信息。

    • For ray tracing scenes composed of primitives, systems and methods accelerate ray/primitive intersection identification by testing rays against elements of geometry acceleration data (GAD) in a parallelized intersection testing resource. Groups of rays can be described as shared attribute information and individual ray data for efficient ray data transfer between a host processor and the testing resource. The host processor also hosts shading and/or management processes controlling the testing resource and adapting the ray tracing, as necessary or desirable, to meet criteria, while reducing degradation of rendering quality. The GAD elements can be arranged in a graph, and rays can be collected into collections based on whether a ray intersects a given element. When a collection is deemed ready for further testing, it is tested for intersection with GAD elements connected, in the graph, to the given element. The graph can be hierarchical such that rays of a given collection are tested against children of the GAD element associated with the given collection.
    • 对于由原始图像组成的光线跟踪场景,系统和方法通过在并行交叉测试资源中测试射线与几何加速度数据(GAD)的元素来加速射线/原始交点识别。 一组光线可以被描述为共享属性信息和单独的射线数据,用于主处理器和测试资源之间的有效射线数据传输。 主机处理器还承载控制测试资源的阴影和/或管理过程,并根据需要或需要调整光线跟踪以满足标准,同时减少渲染质量的降低。 GAD元素可以排列在图形中,并且可以基于光线是否与给定元素相交,将光线收集到集合中。 当集合被认为准备进行进一步测试时,它将与图中连接的GAD元素的交点进行测试。 该图可以是分级的,使得给定集合的射线针对与给定集合相关联的GAD元素的子对象进行测试。

    • In an example, ray tracing scenes includes using a plurality of intersection testing resources coupled with a plurality of shading resources, communicative in the aggregate through links/queues. A queue from testing to shading comprises respective ray/primitive intersection indications, comprising ray identifiers. A shading to testing queue comprises identifiers of new rays for test, wherein data defining the rays is separately stored in memories distributed among the intersection testing resources. Ray definition data can be retained in distributed memories until rays complete intersection testing, being selectable for testing multiple times based on ray identifier. A structure of acceleration shapes can be used. Packets of ray identifiers and shape data can circulate among intersection testing resources, each resource can test rays identified in the packet, and for which definition data is present in its memory. Acceleration shape test results allow collection of rays based on intersected shape, and closest detection ray/primitive intersections are indicated by queuing ray identifiers for shading.

    • With proliferation of general-purpose computers, there has been an increase in demand for performing conferencing through personal or business computers. In such conferences, it is desirable to identify quickly the participants that are speaking at any given time. Such identification, however, becomes difficult as more participants are added, especially for participants that only receive audio data. This is because prior conferencing applications do not provide any visual or auditory cues to help identify active speakers during a conference. Therefore, there is a need in the art for conferencing applications that assist a participant in quickly identifying the active speaking participants of the conference.
