Abstract:
An apparatus and method for sampling pattern generation in a ray tracing architecture. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processing apparatus comprises: a ray generation circuit to generate a ray stream from one or more image tiles; and a sample pattern generation circuit to generate samples for rays in the ray stream, the samples generated to exhibit at least some randomness across pixels of a given frame but be repeatable across multiple frames.

Claim (Index 19):
The system as in  claim 15  wherein the particular sample pattern is to be selected based on one or more of: different shapes of each light source, different bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for different materials, and cosine-weighted hemispherical sampling patterns for ambient occlusion.
