Abstract:
In the last decade, computational power, memory bandwidth and programmability capabilities of graphics processing units (GPU) have rapidly evolved. Therefore, many researches have been performed to use GPUs in advanced graphics rendering. Because of its high degree of it parallelism, ray tracing has been one of the rst algorithms studied on GPUs. However, the rendering of large scenes with ray tracing can easily exceed the GPU
