Abstract:
An apparatus and method are described for performing a distance test in a ray tracing system. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processing apparatus comprises: a ray tracing traversal/intersection unit to identify two or more ray-surface intersections, each of the ray-surface intersections being assigned a unique hit point identifier (ID); and a distance testing module to disambiguate the order of the ray-surface intersections using the hit point ID if the two or more of the ray-surface intersections share the same distance.

Claim (Index 2):
The method as in  claim 1  further comprising:\n if the closest node is further than the current closest hitpoint, then terminating the process with respect to the currently queued untraversed nodes.
