https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Embree-Ray-Tracing-Kernels/Multi-threading-in-Embree-2-0/m-p/1023197#M409 <P>Which functions in Embree 2.0 are implemented to use multiple threads? When I do rtcStartThreads() which of the functions are affected? Specifically are the intersect and occluded functions multi-threaded?</P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P>Ritwik</P> Fri, 15 Aug 2014 02:34:28 GMT ritwik_d_ 2014-08-15T02:34:28Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Embree-Ray-Tracing-Kernels/Multi-threading-in-Embree-2-0/m-p/1023197#M409 <P>Which functions in Embree 2.0 are implemented to use multiple threads?

The ray traversal is not multi-threaded, thus you have to call rtcIntersect from multiple threads yourself.</P> Mon, 18 Aug 2014 05:20:03 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Embree-Ray-Tracing-Kernels/Multi-threading-in-Embree-2-0/m-p/1023198#M410 SvenW_Intel 2014-08-18T05:20:03Z
