Abstract: A query specifying a source repository and a target repository is received from a client device. A source index is generated that corresponds to the source repository and represents a snapshot of metadata associated with data contained in the source data repository. The source index is filtered based on filtering criteria specified by the query to obtain a filtered source index. Attributes of data corresponding to the filtered source index are determined as well as data retrieval type parameters. Without initiating a data migration of the data corresponding to the filtered source index from the source repository to the target repository, predicted data migration metrics associated with the data migration are determined and presented to an end user of the client device. The end user is provided with the capability to initiate or forego the data migration based on an evaluation of the predicted data migration metrics.

Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to acceleration data structure for ray intersection testing. In some embodiments, storage circuitry stores node data for a spatially organized acceleration data structure, including to store the following node information for a given node: origin coordinates for the node and, for a given child node of multiple child nodes, child information that includes: quantized bounding region information for a bounding region corresponding to the child node, where the quantized bounding region information encodes bounding region coordinates as offsets relative to the origin coordinates. Traversal circuitry may traverse multiple nodes of the data structure and determine whether a ray intersects a bounding region indicated by given a node of the data structure based on the node information. Disclosed techniques may provide substantial improvements to performance, data size, and power consumption.
