Build Status:
The goal of this library/project is to allow scientists and other practitioners to perform ray tracing computations in double precision, i.e., where both rays, hits, and geometry can be specified in FP64 precision, and traversal and intersection happen in FP64 precision as well.
Wherever possible we encourage users to use single precision based (and more complete!) tools such as OptiX; but for those that for some reason cannot rely on use single precision calculations this library offers a simple, "OptiX Prime" like API for specifying (double precision) triangle mesh geometry and single instance layer worlds, and to trace arrays of rays to get arrays of hits.
Unlike more complete libraries such as OptiX this library will explicitly not contain a full implementation of the RTX Pipeline (ie, no AnyHit, ClosestHit, Intersection, etc programs, no ray types, ray payloads, shader binding tables, etc), nor features such as ray reordering, denoising, etc. Instead, this library intentionally focusses on only tracing rays, reading rays from a device-array of rays, and filling in a corresponding device array of hits.

Preferred way of using this library is as a git submodule through cmaked, included in your CMake script via
add_subdirectory(<path to>/deepeeRT EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
then linked to your library as
target_link_libraries(yourLib PUBLIC deepeeRT)
This project uses "modern cmake", so this should pull in all dependencies, includes, defines, etc.
- no releases yet.
