We introduce a differentiable rasterizer that bridges the vector graphics and raster image
domains, enabling powerful raster-based loss functions, optimization procedures, and …

We describe Embree, an open source ray tracing framework for x86 CPUs. Embree is
explicitly designed to achieve high performance in professional rendering environments in …

The NVIDIA® OptiX™ ray tracing engine is a programmable system designed for NVIDIA
GPUs and other highly parallel architectures. The OptiX engine builds on the key …

Ray tracing has long been considered as the next-generation technology for graphics
rendering. Recently, there has been strong momentum to adopt ray tracing--based …

Ray tracing is an inherent part of photorealistic image synthesis algorithms. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection with a given ray and scene. Although this …

We describe the design of high-performance parallel radix sort and merge sort routines for
manycore GPUs, taking advantage of the full programmability offered by CUDA. Our radix …

A number of methods for constructing bounding volume hierarchies and point-based octrees
on the GPU are based on the idea of ordering primitives along a space-filling curve. A major …

Breadth-first search (BFS) has wide applications in electronic design automation (EDA) as
well as in other fields. Researchers have tried to accelerate BFS on the GPU, but the two …

Hash tables are a fundamental data structure for effectively storing and accessing sparse
data, with widespread usage in domains ranging from computer graphics to machine …

In a geometric context, a collision or proximity query reports information about the relative
configuration or placement of two objects. Some of the common examples of such queries …
