Abstract:
Ray tracing, and more generally, graphics operations taking place in a 3-D scene, involve a plurality of constituent graphics operations. Responsibility for executing these operations can be distributed among different sets of computation units. The sets of computation units each can execute a set of instructions on a parallelized set of input data elements and produce results. These results can be that the data elements can be categorized into different subsets, where each subset requires different processing as a next step. The data elements of these different subsets can be coalesced so that they are contiguous in a results set. The results set can be used to schedule additional computation, and if there are empty locations of a scheduling vector (after accounting for the members of a given subset), then those empty locations can be filled with other data elements that require the same further processing as that subset.

Claim (Index 12):
A computing system for performing ray tracing for rendering a computer graphics scene, the computing system comprising one or more processing units, wherein the computing system is configured to:\n select a resolution for intersection testing; perform, in the one or more processing units, intersection testing of rays against shapes to generate intersection test results, wherein the computing system is configured to perform the intersection testing at the selected resolution; and use the intersection test results for rendering the scene.
