Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors
