A new article from Intel explains the latest advances in path-traced light simulation and neural graphics research that its engineers have been working on. One of the biggest improvements Intel is striving toward is far more efficient path-traced rendering, which could enable integrated GPUs to run path-tracing in real time.
The article links to three new papers advertising new path-traced optimizations that will be presented at SIGGRAPH, EGSR, and HPG by the Intel Graphics Research Organization. These optimizations are designed to alleviate and improve GPU performance by reducing the number of calculations required to simulate light bounces.
