OptiX
Encyclopedia
NVIDIA OptiX is a real time
ray tracing engine for CUDA-based
video cards such as the GeForce, Quadro, and Tesla series.
According to NVIDIA, OptiX is designed to be flexible enough for "procedural definitions and hybrid rendering approaches." Aside from computer Graphics
rendering, Optix also helps in optical & acoustical design, radiation research, and collision analysis.
Real-time computing
In computer science, real-time computing , or reactive computing, is the study of hardware and software systems that are subject to a "real-time constraint"— e.g. operational deadlines from event to system response. Real-time programs must guarantee response within strict time constraints...
