More information on Caustic Graphics

approximately 1 minutes to read

Caustic graphics is a company which claims to have solved most problems related to incoherent memory access when ray-tracing secondary rays (gosh, that’s a sentence, but the claim is even more impressive). While nobody knows so far how they do it, PC Perspective has released an article which explains a bit more what they do. Interesting read, even though I have doubts that this is really the future (which I see in hybrid ray-tracing algorithms, where the ray-tracing is part of the shader execution – and primary rays are still handled by rasterization).
