These are the headers for NVIDIA's OptiX ray tracing API. Usage of this
|
|
API allows for an application to offload its ray tracing calculations
|
|
to the system's onboard NVIDIA GPU card, potentially drastically
|
|
render speeds.
|
|
|
|
Currently, this is only present in the SlackBuilds.org repository as an
|
|
optional dependency for graphics/Blender. If this is installed, the
|
|
graphics/Blender SlackBuild will automatically detect the OptiX headers
|
|
and Blender will be built with support for OptiX, allowing to use it
|
|
for rendering, as well as GPGPU-accelerated image denoising.
|
|
|
|
This SlackBuild also requires a recent CUDA toolkit (probably newer
|
|
than the current one available in the SBo repository). It will install
|
|
without it, it just will be useless without it.
