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 5):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is to modify the BVH structure to allow one or more leaf nodes in the top-level of the BVH structure to reference one or more BVH sub-trees, wherein each leaf node of the top-level BVH is to correspond to a pair of instance identifier and a sub-tree identifier.
