Abstract:
Circuitry comprises ray tracing circuitry comprising a plurality of floating-point circuitries to perform floating-point processing operations to detect intersection between a virtual ray defined by a ray direction and a test region, the floating-point circuitries operating to a given precision to generate an output floating-point value comprising a significand and an exponent; in which at least some of the plurality of floating-point circuitries are configured to round using a predetermined directed rounding mode any denormal floating-point value generated by operation of that circuitry so as to output normal values, a denormal floating-point value being a floating-point value in which the significand comprises one or more leading zeroes.
