“…Following their earlier work, Doyle et al [DTM17] integrated their BVH construction unit into a heterogeneous system-on-chip comprising a multi-core CPU working in tandem with a compact version of their BVH HW unit. This new design was prototyped on an FPGA.…”

“…In terms of actual BVH research, there has been recent work into hardware acceleration of construction [DTM18], traversal and intersection test [LSL∗13], and some of these concepts have finally been implemented in consumer hardware. With surface path‐tracing being the topic of an immense amount of research, it was only a matter of time before some of these concepts were introduced as fixed‐function hardware.…”

We present a Direct Volume Rendering method that makes use of newly available Nvidia graphics hardware for Bounding Volume Hierarchies. Using BVHs for DVR has been overlooked in recent research due to build times potentially impeding interactive rates. We indicate that this is not necessarily the case, especially when a clustering algorithm is applied before the BVH build to reduce leaf‐node complexity. Our results show substantial render time improvements for full‐resolution DVR on GPU in comparison to a recent state‐of‐the‐art approach for empty‐space‐skipping. Furthermore, the use of a BVH for DVR allows seamless integration into popular surface‐based path‐tracing technologies like Nvidia's OptiX.
