Nvidia Optix Samples

Nvidia optix ray tracing engine an application framework for achieving optimal ray tracing performance on the gpu.

Nvidia optix samples. Optix 3 9 pascal support optix 4 0 llvm pipeline nvlink scaling optix 4 1 performance cuda 8 vs2015 2009 optix 1 0. The goal of the three initial introduction examples is to show how to port an existing optix application based on the previous optix 5 or 6 api to optix 7. 5 release timeline jan 2016 summer 2016 today.

Advanced samples for the nvidia optix 7 ray tracing sdk. To search for the occurrences of a text string in this document enter text in the upper right box and press the enter key. This is a set of advanced samples for the nvidia optix ray tracing engine they assume some previous experience with optix and physically based rendering unlike the basic tutorial style samples in the sdk directory of the optix 4 0 distribution. It provides a simple recursive and flexible pipeline for accelerating ray tracing algorithms.

We demonstrate the device side optix api via a simple sample program which renders a single triangle with trivial shading. The api is designed to be stateless multi threaded. The nvidia optix 7 api is a cuda centric api that is easily invoked by a cuda based application.
