https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Embree-Ray-Tracing-Kernels/AVX-implementation/m-p/800993#M124 Can we expect an AVX version in the feature? Or AVX will be overkill for this kind of application?

AVX will not give a significant speed improvement for single ray traversal.<DIV></DIV><DIV>AVX does definitely make sense with a packet ray tracer that handles multiple rays in a ray packet, however, Embree does not support this mode of operation.</DIV><DIV></DIV> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:41:11 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Embree-Ray-Tracing-Kernels/AVX-implementation/m-p/800994#M125 SvenW_Intel 2012-03-02T06:41:11Z
