Abstract
Cloud-based real time rendering. For example, one embodiment of a system comprises: a first graphics processing node to perform a first set of graphics processing operations to render a graphics scene, the first set of graphics processing operations comprising ray-tracing independent operations; an interconnect or network interface coupling the first graphics processing node to a second graphics processing node; the second graphics processing node to receive an indication of a current view of a user of the first graphics processing node and to receive or construct a view-independent surface generated by view-independent ray traversal and intersection operations; the second graphics processing node to responsively perform a view-dependent translation of the view-independent surface based on the current view of the user to generate a view-dependent surface and to provide the view-dependent surface to the first graphics processing node; and the first graphics processing node to perform a second set of graphics processing operations to complete rendering of the graphics scene using the view-dependent surface.
