The Skia Graphics Engine or Skia is an open-source 2D graphics library written in C++. Skia abstracts away platform-specific graphics APIs (which differ from one to another). [ 1 ] Skia Inc. originally developed the library; Google acquired it in 2005, [ 2 ] and then released the software as open source licensed under the New BSD free software ...
Direct2D [1] is a 2D vector graphics application programming interface (API) designed by Microsoft and implemented in Windows 10, [2] Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, and also Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (with Platform Update installed).
Prime also features a CPU fallback when no compatible GPU is found on the system. Unlike OptiX, Prime is not a programmable API, so lacks support for custom, non-triangle primitives and shading. Being non-programmable, OptiX Prime does not encapsulate the entire algorithm of which ray tracing is a part.
ARM’s newest flagship GPU will offer hardware-based ray tracing, a first for the company. ARM’s Immortalis GPU will bring hardware-based ray tracing to more Android devices Skip to main content
The first major update was made to DXR on May 27, 2020 with the Windows 10 May update (version 2004). The May update implemented DXR Tier 1.1, which allows game engines to make real time calculations which makes the raytracing graphics faster and more efficient.
Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP) [1] is a software rasterizer and a component of DirectX graphics runtime in Windows 7 and later. It is available for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 through platform update for Windows Vista .
Since 2019, however, hardware acceleration for real-time ray tracing has become standard on new commercial graphics cards, and graphics APIs have followed suit, allowing developers to use hybrid ray tracing and rasterization-based rendering in games and other real-time applications with a lesser hit to frame render times.
Caustic Graphics [20] produced a plug in card, the "CausticOne" (2009), [21] that accelerated global illumination and other ray based rendering processes when coupled to a PC CPU and GPU. The hardware is designed to organize scattered rays (typically produced by global illumination problems) into more coherent sets (lower spatial or angular ...
