Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to more efficient ray tracing of instanced geometry are described. In an embodiment, overlapping instances are unbraided, by not instantiating the entire objects, but instantiating multiple sub-BVH nodes of the objects, which improves rendering performance by reducing overlap of BVH nodes. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is to perform the operation to split leaf nodes of an existing top-level BVH, followed by a pass to improve the top-level of the BVH.
