    • Stream Compaction for Deferred Shading 

      Hoberock, Jared; Lu, Victor; Jia, Yuntao; Hart, John C. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The GPU leverages SIMD efficiency when shading because it rasterizes a triangle at a time, running the same shader on all of its fragments. Ray tracing sacrifices this shader coherence, and the result is that SIMD units ...
