Publication number: 20240104844Abstract: Devices and methods for multi-resolution geometric representation for ray tracing are described which include casting a ray in a space comprising objects represented by geometric shapes and approximating a volume of the geometric shapes using an accelerated hierarchy structure. The accelerated hierarchy structure comprises first nodes each representing a volume of one of the geometric shapes in the space and second nodes each representing an approximate volume of a group of the geometric shapes. When the ray is determined to intersect a bounding box of a second node representing one group of the geometric shapes, a selection is made between traversal and non-traversal of other second nodes based on a LOD for representing the volume of the one group of geometric shapes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicants: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Sho Ikeda, Paritosh Vijay Kulkarni, Takahiro Harada

Patent number: 11722289Abstract: In a case where signals branched from a single reference signal source are transmitted via a plurality of cables, a phase synchronization circuit can be used to stabilize a phase of a signal to be outputted from each cable. However, the phases of signal to be outputted from each cable is affected by combination of a length of each cable and an amount of delay caused by feedback control, so that phases of synchronization signals to be outputted from a plurality of transmission paths are not always the same as each other. In the present invention, since a frequency multiplier that multiplies a frequency of a signal outputted from each transmission path by an even number is provided for a phase synchronization circuit, the phases of the synchronization signals to be outputted from the transmission paths are aligned even when signals are branched from one reference signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyuki Mizutani, Sho Ikeda, Kae Morita
