The Cell processor offers substantial computational power which can be effectively utilized only if application design and implementation are tuned to the Cell architecture. In th...
The GPU leverages SIMD efficiency when shading because it rasterizes a triangle at a time, running the same shader on all of its fragments. Ray tracing sacrifices this shader cohe...
