[May 14 2010] MCX benchmarked on GTX 470

MCX was recently benchmarked on a GTX 470 card and had achieved a speed of 12800 photons/millisecond using over 40000 threads and a block size of 512. This is 4x faster than the results with 8800GT.

[May 10 2010] New demo added to iso2mesh

iso2mesh now supports mesh refinement by exploiting the existing features from tetgen (thanks to Hang Si, the author of tetgen). See this page for a demo (the demo also shows how to create spheres from iso2mesh). Please check out the latest code from SVN to give it a try.

[Jan 26 2010] GPU Ocelot support added to MCX

Ocelot is an open-source PTX emulator developed by Greg Diamos and his colleagues. A makefile is added to MCX SVN to enable linking against libocelot and execution on CPU. Unfortunately, Ocelot emulation is very slow, this is expected to be improved significantly by the coming PTX-LLVM translator.
