    Abstract: Apparatus and method for a hierarchical beam tracer. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a beam generator to generate beam data associated with a beam projected into a graphics scene; a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) generator to generate BVH data comprising a plurality of hierarchically arranged BVH nodes; a hierarchical beam-based traversal unit to determine whether the beam intersects a current BVH node and, if so, to responsively subdivide the beam into N child beams to test against the current BVH node and/or to traverse further down the BVH hierarchy to select a new BVH node, wherein the hierarchical beam-based traversal unit is to iteratively subdivide successive intersecting child beams and/or to continue to traverse down the BVH hierarchy until a leaf node is reached with which at least one final child beam is determined to intersect; the hierarchical beam-based traversal unit to generate a plurality of rays within the final child beam; and intersection hardware logic to perform intersection testing for any rays intersecting the leaf node, the intersection testing to determine intersections between the rays intersecting the leaf node and primitives bounded by the leaf node.

    Abstract: A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is provided. The DAC includes a code converter circuit configured to sequentially receive first digital control codes for controlling N digital-to-analog converter cells. N is an integer greater than one. The code converter circuit is further configured to convert the first digital control codes to second digital control codes. Additionally, the DAC includes a bit-shifter circuit configured to receive shift codes for the second digital control codes. The shift codes are obtained using dynamic element matching and indicate a respective circular shift by ri bit positions for the i-th second digital control code, wherein ri is an integer smaller than N−1. The bit-shifter circuit is further configured to generate third digital control codes by circularly shifting the second digital codes based on the shift codes. In addition, the DAC includes a cell activation circuit configured to selectively activate one or more of the N digital-to-analog converter cells based on the third digital control codes.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to an end-to-end trainable degradation restoration network (DRN) that enhances the ability of a super-resolution (SR) subnetwork to deal with noisy low-resolution images. An embodiment of a method includes estimating, by a noise estimator (NE) subnetwork of the DRN, an estimated noise map for a noisy input image; and predicting, by the SR subnetwork of the DRN, a clean upscaled image based on the input image and the noise map by, for each of multiple conditional residual dense blocks (CRDBs) stacked within one or more cascade blocks representing the SR subnetwork, adjusting, by a noise control layer of the CRDB that follows a stacked set of a multiple residual dense blocks of the CRDB, feature values of an intermediate feature map associated with the input image by applying (i) a scaling factor and (ii) an offset factor derived from the noise map.
