摘要： For ray tracing systems, described methods, media, apparatuses provide for accounting of light energy that will be collected at pixels of a 2-D representation without recursive closure of a tree of ray/primitive intersections, and also provide for adaptivity in ray tracing based on importance indicators of each ray, such as a weight, which may be carried in data structures representative of the rays. Examples of such adaptivity may include determining a number of children to issue for shading an identified intersecting primitive, culling rays, and adding rays to achieve more accurate sampling, if desired. All such adaptivity may be triggered with goal-based indicators, such as a threshold value representative of rendering progress to a time-based goal, such as a frame rate.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.
摘要翻译：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。

摘要： 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.

摘要： Aspects comprise systems implementing ray tracing functionality according to example architectures. In one example, rays are collected into collections against elements of an acceleration structure, which in some cases are associated with objects composing a scene being ray traced. Indications of detected ray intersections also can be collected in an output buffer, and in some examples, the output buffer can comprise a plurality of portions, each associated with a scene object, or a common portion of code to be executed during shading. Buffer contents can be accessed in a block read. An intersection shading resource can load data to be used in shading the intersections for the identified rays, and locally storing that data for use in shading those intersections.
