Abstract: One embodiment provides for a parallel processor comprising a processing array within the parallel processor, the processing array including multiple compute blocks, each compute block including multiple processing clusters configured for parallel operation, wherein each of the multiple compute blocks is independently preemptable. In one embodiment a preemption hint can be generated for source code during compilation to enable a compute unit to determine an efficient point for preemption.

Abstract: A virtual reality apparatus and method are described. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a compute cluster comprising global illumination circuitry and/or logic to perform global illumination operations on graphics data in response to execution of a virtual reality application and to responsively generate a stream of samples; a filtering/compression module to perform filtering and/or compression operations on the stream of samples to generate filtered/compressed samples; a network interface to communicatively couple the compute cluster to a network, the filtered/compressed samples to be streamed over the network; a render node to receive the filtered/compressed samples streamed over the network, the render node comprising: decompression circuitry/logic to decompress the filtered/compressed samples to generate decompressed samples; a sample buffer to store the decompressed samples; and sample insertion circuitry/logic to asynchronously insert samples into a light field rendered by a light field rendering circuit/logic.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for performing a distance test in a ray tracing system. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processing apparatus comprises: a ray tracing traversal/intersection unit to identify two or more ray-surface intersections, each of the ray-surface intersections being assigned a unique hit point identifier (ID); and a distance testing module to disambiguate the order of the ray-surface intersections using the hit point ID if the two or more of the ray-surface intersections share the same distance.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for utilizing volume proxies. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a volume subdivision module to subdivide a volume into a plurality of partitions, the apparatus to process a first of the partitions and to distribute data associated with each of the other partitions to each of a plurality of nodes; a proxy generation module to compute a first proxy for the first partition, the first proxy to be transmitted to the plurality of nodes; and a ray tracing engine to perform one or more traversal/intersection operations for a current ray or group of rays using the first proxy; if the ray or group of rays interacts with the first proxy, then the ray tracing engine to send the ray(s) to a second node associated with the first proxy or retrieves data related to the interaction from the second node.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a graphics processor comprising a system interface and circuitry coupled with the system interface. The circuitry includes an execution resource and a preemption status register. The execution resource is configured to execute an instruction. During execution of the instruction, the execution resource is to receive a request to preempt execution of a thread associated with the instruction and, based on a value stored in the preemption status register, execute at least one additional instruction after receipt of the request to preempt execution of the thread.
