摘要： Scene model data, including a scene geometry model and a plurality of pixel data describing objects arranged in a scene, is received. A first pixel data of the plurality of pixel data is selected. A primary pixel color and a primary ray are generated based on the first pixel data. If the primary ray intersects an object in the scene, an intersection point, P is determined. A surface normal, N, is determined based on the object intersected and the intersection point, P. A primary hit color is determined based on the intersection point, P. The primary pixel color is modified based on the primary hit color. A plurality of ambient occlusion (AO) rays are generated based on the intersection point, P and the surface normal, N, with each AO ray having a direction, D. For each AO ray, the AO ray direction is reversed, D, the AO ray origin, O, is set to a point outside the scene. Each AO ray is marched from the AO ray origin into the scene to the intersection point, P. If an AO ray intersects an object before reaching point P, that AO ray is excluded from ambient occlusion calculations. If an AO ray does not intersect an object before reaching point P, that ray is included in ambient occlusion calculations. Ambient occlusion is estimated based on included AO rays. The primary pixel color is shaded based on the ambient occlusion and the primary hit color and an image is generated based on the primary pixel color for the pixel data.

摘要翻译： 接收场景模型数据，包括场景几何模型和描述在场景中布置的对象的多个像素数据。 选择多个像素数据的第一像素数据。 基于第一像素数据生成主要像素颜色和主要光线。 如果主要射线与场景中的物体相交，则确定交点P。 基于相交对象和交点P确定表面法线N。基于交点P确定主要命中颜色。基于主要命中颜色修改主像素颜色。 基于交点P和表面法线N产生多个环境遮挡（AO）射线，每个AO射线具有方向D.对于每个AO射线，AO射线方向相反，D， AO射线原点O被设置为场景外的点。 每个AO射线从AO射线原点进入场景到交点P.如果AO光线在达到点P之前与物体相交，那么AO射线被排除在环境遮挡计算之外。 如果AO射线在到达点P之前没有与物体相交，则该光线被包含在环境遮挡计算中。 基于包含的AO射线估计环境遮挡。 主像素颜色基于环境遮挡和主要命中颜色而阴影，并且基于像素数据的主像素颜色生成图像。

摘要： A method comprises receiving scene model data including a scene geometry model and a plurality of pixel data describing objects arranged in a scene. The method generates a primary ray based on a selected first pixel data. In the event the primary ray intersects an object in the scene, the method determines primary hit color data and generates a plurality of secondary rays. The method groups the secondary packets and arranges the packets in a queue based on the octant of each direction vector in the secondary ray packet. The method generates secondary color data based on the secondary ray packets in the queue and generates a pixel color based on the primary hit color data, and the secondary color data. The method generates an image based on the pixel color for the pixel data.

摘要： A method for managing hardware resources and threads within a data processing system is disclosed. Compilation attributes of a function are collected during and after the compilation of the function. The pre-processing attributes of the function are also collected before the execution of the function. The collected attributes of the function are then analyzed, and a runtime configuration is assigned to the function based of the result of the attribute analysis. The runtime configuration may include, for example, the designation of the function to be executed under either a single-threaded mode or a simultaneous multi-threaded mode. During the execution of the function, real-time attributes of the function are being continuously collected. If necessary, the runtime configuration under which the function is being executed can be changed based on the real-time attributes collected during the execution of the function.

摘要： A method efficiently dispatches/completes a work element within a multi-node, data processing system that has a global command queue (GCQ) and at least one high latency node. The method comprises: at the high latency processor node, work scheduling logic establishing a local command/work queue (LCQ) in which multiple work items for execution by local processing units can be staged prior to execution; a first local processing unit retrieving via a work request a larger chunk size of work than can be completed in a normal work completion/execution cycle by the local processing unit; storing the larger chunk size of work retrieved in a local command/work queue (LCQ); enabling the first local processing unit to locally schedule and complete portions of the work stored within the LCQ; and transmitting a next work request to the GCQ only when all the work within the LCQ has been dispatched by the local processing units.
