We recently kicked off our NVIDIA Developer Program exclusive series of Connect with Experts Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions featuring NVIDIA experts and Ray Tracing Gems editors Eric Haines, Adam Marrs, Peter Shirley, and Ingo Wald. Do ray tracing and deep learning overlap? Eric: Yes, in many ways. This works today.

This is a challenging task, even in cinematic rendering, because it is difficult to find all the paths of light that contribute meaningfully to an image. Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering.

Recommended Use a dedicated thread for resource creation to avoid hidden OS costs and blocking frame rendering, as this can result in costly OS paging work. Free threaded resource creation may also be a natural fit for async copy queue uploads, which would enable completely free threaded data uploads to vidmem for newly allocated resources.

This means having lots of lights no longer creates a performance hit on the rendering pipeline, since all we need to do is sample a single texture and we get the amount of light coming from all light sources.
