OptiX SDK

OptiX is an application framework for achieving optimal ray tracing performance on the GPU. It provides a simple, recursive, and flexible pipeline for accelerating ray tracing algorithms.

This repository contains the OptiX SDK, which includes the header files necessary for building an application with OptiX support, including access to the OptiX functions provided by the NVIDIA display driver. This SDK also contains sample applications that demonstrate the use of the OptiX API, and some third party code to support the sample applications.

The OptiX SDK is alternatively available as a downloadable, installable package on the NVIDIA Developer web site.

A small minimal version of the SDK that includes only OptiX headers, but no sample applications is available in the optix-dev repository. The optix-dev repository can be used instead of the complete SDK for CI/CD workflows, automated installations, and container-based development environments.

Visit the OptiX home page for an in-depth introduction to OptiX and to find online OptiX documentation.
