Ray Tracing GPU Architectures and Applications

Ray tracing acceleration is coming to a GPU near you!  In this talk, we will discuss the hardware architecture changes that we have made to Imagination's PowerVR GPU in order to enable ultra-efficient accelerated 3D spatial queries.  Following this, we will explore the roadmap for ray tracing in the coming years, looking at some techniques and use cases for ray tracing today and the applications that become possible with steadily increasing ray tracing performance over time.

Speakers: Luke Peterson, Director of Ray Tracing R&D  
Gareth Morgan, Rendering Software Engineer, Imagination Technologies
