RTT AG recently announced a high-performance, real-time ray tracer, RealTrace, as part of DeltaGen, their software for complex 3D visualization. A leading global provider of visualization in the automotive, aerospace and consumer goods sector, RTT created the ray tracer using the RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform running on graphics processing units (GPUs). This application is now being demonstrated on the Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell BE), achieving excellent performance.
What does this mean for you? With the RapidMind platform, your application can also take advantage of the performance of the Cell BE. This application is just one example of how easy it is to build high-performance applications using the RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform. Whether for image processing, scientific computation, game development or content creation, RapidMind eliminates the need to understand the details of the hardware platform in order to achieve the potential of the Cell BE processor.
