Improve Rendering & Ray Tracing Using Intel® Embree for CPU & GPU

Intel® Embree has won awards, including from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, but what is it, and what do experienced graphics developers use it for?

• Get an overview of Intel Embree, a performant ray tracing library designed to improve the running of photorealistic rendering applications.
• Learn the introductory requirements, mechanics, and practices of writing Intel Embree CPU and GPU programs.
• See how the library is used with example source code from a typical client program (including the runtime stack) and its relationship to other libraries found in the Intel® Rendering Toolkit, which includes Intel Embree.
• Use the updated Intel Embree version 4 runtime stack to target new Intel® Arc™ GPUs and the Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series
• GPU targeting via SYCL* code and the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler
• Learn convenient Unified Shared Memory (USM) practices to provide typical scene information for Intel Embree on GPU SYCL kernels
• BONUS: Learn to write simple ray tracing apps to render an image on CPU and GPU.
