Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Cpu

CPU path tracing backend with progressive accumulation and optional deterministic sampling for golden tests.

Install

dotnet add package Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Cpu

Prerequisites: .NET 10 SDK (net10.0), Novolis.Rendering.Runtime.

Quick start

using Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Cpu;
using Novolis.Rendering.Runtime;

var backend = new CpuRayTracingBackend(deterministic: true);
await backend.ResizeAsync(320, 240);
await backend.UploadSceneAsync(DemoSceneFactory.UnitCubeRoom());

var camera = CameraSnapshot.LookAt(
    new Vector3(1.2f, 0.8f, 2f), new Vector3(0f, 0.25f, 0f), Vector3.UnitY, 60f, 320f / 240f);

await backend.RenderAsync(camera, sampleIndex: 0);
backend.Output.TryGetCpuPixels(out var pixels, out var w, out var h);

ResetAccumulation() clears integrated samples. SampleCount tracks progressive rendering progress. BackendLabel is "CPU" or "CPU (deterministic)".

API

Type Role
CpuRayTracingBackend IRayTracingBackend; CPU-only output, no GPU surface
DemoSceneFactory UnitCubeRoom() → precompiled demo CompiledScene

Dogfooding / apps

Reference backend for correctness checks and Novolis.Rendering.Testing golden hashes. Selected via NOVOLIS_RAY_BACKEND=cpu or PathTraceBackendKind.Cpu.

Support

Pre-release platform library. Public API is fully documented with strict XML (CS1591 enforced).

No GPU driver or native window required.

Package Role
Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Igpu GPU compute via ILGPU
Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan Vulkan compute shaders
Novolis.Rendering.Testing SHA-256 golden assertions
Novolis.Rendering.DependencyInjection UseCpuBackend(deterministic:)

Package Downloads
Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Vulkan

Vulkan-named path tracing backend. GPU Shaderc/Vulkan lives in Novolis.Silk.Compute; this package keeps IRayTracingBackend via CPU fallback.

Novolis.Rendering.Backends.Igpu

ILGPU ray tracing backend (GPU compute with CPU fallback).

Novolis.Rendering.DependencyInjection

Dependency injection registration for ray tracing backends.

Novolis.Rendering

Rendering composition stack — materials, scene compile, CPU/GPU backends, presentation contracts.

Novolis.Rendering.PathTrace.Demos

Shared path-tracing demo scenes, async workers, and session helpers for Silk and Raylib samples.
