Abstract

Ray tracing systems have computation units ('RACs') adapted to perform ray tracing operations (e.g. intersection testing). There are multiple RACs. A centralized packet unit controls the allocation and testing of rays by the RACs. This allows RACs to be implemented without Content Addressable Memories (CAMs) which are expensive to implement, but the functionality of CAMs can still be achieved by implemented them in the centralized controller.
