  • Interactive Rendering with Coherent Ray Tracing
    EUROGRAPHICS 2001 / A. Chalmers and T.-M. Rhyne Volume 20 (2001), Number 3 (Guest Editors) Interactive Rendering with Coherent Ray Tracing Ingo Wald, Philipp Slusallek, Carsten Benthin, and Markus Wagner Computer Graphics Group, Saarland University Abstract For almost two decades researchers have argued that ray tracing will eventually become faster than the rasteri- zation technique that completely dominates todays graphics hardware. However, this has not happened yet. Ray tracing is still exclusively being used for off-line rendering of photorealistic images and it is commonly believed that ray tracing is simply too costly to ever challenge rasterization-based algorithms for interactive use. However, there is hardly any scientific analysis that supports either point of view. In particular there is no evidence of where the crossover point might be, at which ray tracing would eventually become faster, or if such a point does exist at all. This paper provides several contributions to this discussion: We first present a highly optimized implementation of a ray tracer that improves performance by more than an order of magnitude compared to currently available ray tracers. The new algorithm makes better use of computational resources such as caches and SIMD instructions and better exploits image and object space coherence. Secondly, we show that this software implementation can challenge and even outperform high-end graphics hardware in interactive rendering performance for complex environments. We also provide an brief overview of the benefits of ray tracing over rasterization algorithms and point out the potential of interactive ray tracing both in hardware and software. 1. Introduction Ray tracing is famous for its ability to generate high-quality images but is also well-known for long rendering times due to its high computational cost.
