Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods described herein for encoding geometrical primitives into data blocks are disclosed. in an implementation, these data blocks can be directly consumed by an application programming interface (api) for ray traversal or rasterization. a graphics application running on a ray tracing system provides primitive data to the graphics api using a data format that defines fixed-point, compressed, and fixed-size data blocks to store encoded primitive data. the stored data can be decompressed to construct an acceleration structure. data from the graphics application undergoes geometry clustering in a manner that these can be directly exposed by the api to be consumed by a processing circuitry when constructing acceleration structures.
