System, method, and computer program product for generating a ray tracing data structure utilizing a parallel processor architecture

摘要

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for generating a ray tracing data structure utilizing a parallel processor architecture. In operation, a global set of data is received. Additionally, a data structure is generated utilizing a parallel processor architecture including a plurality of processors. Such data structure is adapted for use in performing ray tracing utilizing the parallel processor architecture, and is generated by allocating the global set of data among the processors such that results of processing of at least one of the processors is processed by another one of the processors.
