Introduction

RayCore MC is a real-time path tracing GPU IP Core. Its path tracing and soft shadow techniques present the highest quality photo-realistic images in 3D graphics processing today for real-time applications. RayCore MC IP core supports advanced graphic effects such as global illumination, soft shadow, depth of field, glossy reflection, and motion blur. Its Multiple-Instruction, Multiple-Data (MIMD) architecture enables real-time render processing and is highly optimized for low power consumption. As an Intel Gold partner, we provide you with a ray tracing GPU solution that has RayCore MC integrated into Intel Arria 10 FPGA. OpenGI API for Raycore MC is similar to the OpenGL ES 1.1, which enables users to easily develop their applications.
