The module implements the VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline and VK_KHR_acceleration_structure extensions entirely in software.
: Uses an updated Reactor backend to JIT-compile ray-intersection kernels. This allows the CPU to execute ray-triangle intersection tests with SIMD efficiency that rivals entry-level hardware intersection engines. swiftshader-3-0-version-complete
This feature would allow developers to test and run ray-traced applications on hardware lacking a dedicated GPU, bridge the gap for cloud environments, and provide a "gold standard" reference for visual debugging.
