Architecture considerations for tracing incoherent rays
This paper proposes a massively parallel hardware architecture for efficient tracing of incoherent rays, e.g. for global illumination. The general approach is centered around hier...

Analytical motion blur rasterization with compression
We present a rasterizer, based on time-dependent edge equations, that computes analytical visibility in order to render accurate motion blur. The theory for doing the computations...

GPU random numbers via the tiny encryption algorithm
Random numbers are extensively used on the GPU. As more computation is ported to the GPU, it can no longer be treated as rendering hardware alone. Random number generators (RNG) a...

Hardware implementation of micropolygon rasterization with motion and defocus blur
Current GPUs rasterize micropolygons (polygons approximately one pixel in size) inefficiently. Additionally, they do not natively support triangle rasterization with jittered samp...

Parallel SAH k-D tree construction
The k-D tree is a well-studied acceleration data structure for ray tracing. It is used to organize primitives in a scene to allow efficient execution of intersection operations be...

A lazy object-space shading architecture with decoupled sampling
We modify the Reyes object-space shading approach to address two inefficiencies that result from performing shading calculations at micropolygon grid vertices prior to rasterizati...

AnySL: efficient and portable shading for ray tracing
While a number of different shading languages have been developed, their efficient integration into an existing renderer is notoriously difficult, often boiling down to implementi...
