Device that photo realistic display by a complex dynamic 3-dimensional scene the ray tracing method

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for displaying a photo realistic by ray tracing of complex dynamic 3-D scene. Has a programmable ray tracing at least one processor to the device, in the processor, Traverse dedicated instructions, and vector arithmetic / or instructions, and instructions to form a ray tracing acceleration structure, and / or when you run the ray tracing method and / or during injection of the ray, the ray intersection already determining one unit (mailbox) is performed at least be used to suppress the light from being crossed many times triangle object or, The device is configured to be able to be able to parallel processing a plurality of threads, and is then processed automatically synchronize multiple threads, The device may use a direct connection to the main memory and virtual memory management, and / or cache hierarchy or / n of the level.
