Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for exploiting spatial locality to speed up first-hit ray BVH traversals. A processor may generate a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) hit map based a set of pixels, where the BVH hit map includes entries indicative of intersection information for a set of rays associated with the set of pixels, and where the BVH hit map corresponds to a BVH. The processor may select an entry from the entries of the BVH hit map based on pixel coordinate information for the set of pixels. The processor may traverse the BVH from a node of the BVH associated with the selected entry.
