- Improved performance for streams of coherent (single) rays flagged
withRTC_INTERSECT_COHERENT
. For such coherent ray streams, e.g.
primary rays, the performance typically improves by 1.3–2×. - New spatial split BVH builder for triangles, which is 2–6× faster
than the previous version and more memory conservative. - Improved performance and scalability of all standard BVH builders on
systems with large core counts. - Fixed
rtcGetBounds
for motion blur scenes. - Thread affinity is now on by default when running on the latest
Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor. - Added initial AVX512 support for future Intel® Xeon processors.
