Abstract:
A hardware-based traversal coprocessor provides acceleration of tree traversal operations searching for intersections between primitives represented in a tree data structure and a ray. The primitives may include opaque and alpha triangles used in generating a virtual scene. The hardware-based traversal coprocessor is configured to determine primitives intersected by the ray, and return intersection information to a streaming multiprocessor for further processing. The hardware-based traversal coprocessor is configured to omit reporting of one or more primitives the ray is determined to intersect. The omitted primitives include primitives which are provably capable of being omitted without a functional impact on visualizing the virtual scene.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of primitives include opaque primitives and alpha primitives, and the circuitry is configured to:\n upon determining that the ray intersects an opaque primitive, store intersection information for the opaque primitive in a result queue; and upon determining that the ray intersects an alpha primitive and the result queue includes the intersection information for the opaque primitive, transmit the stored intersection information for the opaque primitive to a processor before transmitting intersection information for the intersected alpha primitive to the processor.
