| PS3 Real-time Ray-tracing |
 |
IBM Interactive Ray-tracer (iRT) using three
Sony Playstation3s (PS3) to render a model
that is 75x more complex then those used in
today's games. Ray-tracing is the rendering
technique used by the film industry and is
considered to complex for today's game
systems. The code was written using IBM Cell
SDK 2.0 on Linux. The iRT is totally
scalable and only requires one Cell SPE to
run. More PS3s = More SPEs = Higher client
frame rates. All images are at least 720p 4x
multi-sampled, with dynamic light sources,
procedurally generated atmosphere, and
dynamic shadows.
Sorry about the bad camera microphone.

ABSTRACT
Photographic Technology Day 3: Ray Tracing,
Lenses, and Mirrors
In this lecture, we will study the principles
of ray tracing for simple optical components:
thin spherical lenses and spherical mirrors.
The notion of real/virtual object and
real/virtual images will be highlighted as
well as the computation of the position and
magnification the image. The case of thick
lenses will also be mentioned including the
notion of nodal and cardinal points.

This video shows a progression of ray-traced
shaders executing on a cluster of IBM QS20
Cell blades. The model comprises over 300,000
triangles and renders at over 60 frames per
second, depending on the shader, at 1080p
resolution using 14 Cell processors. Because
of the scalable nature of the ray-tracer it
can also render interactive frames on a
single Linux Playstation3 using only 6 SPEs.
