Cycles: BVH build time optimizations: * BVH building was multithreaded. Not all building is multithreaded, packing and the initial bounding/splitting is still single threaded, but recursive splitting is, which was the main bottleneck. * Object splitting now uses binning rather than sorting of all elements, using code from the Embree raytracer from Intel. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/embree-photo-realistic-ray-tracing-kernels/ * Other small changes to avoid allocations, pack memory more tightly, avoid some unnecessary operations, ... These optimizations do not work yet when Spatial Splits are enabled, for that more work is needed. There's also other optimizations still needed, in particular for the case of many low poly objects, the packing step and node memory allocation. BVH raytracing time should remain about the same, but BVH build time should be significantly reduced, test here show speedup of about 5x to 10x on a dual core and 5x to 25x on an 8-core machine, depending on the scene. |
