"Video and images are rendered in realtime on the SaarCOR Prototype
FPGA implementation running at 90 MHz.
This small prototype with only one rendering pipeline achieves already
realtime frame rates of 15 to 60 fps in 512x384 and 32 bit colour depth
and between 5 to 15 fps at 1024x768 in our benchmark scenes as
presented on this page. Thus the prototype with on 90 MHz already
achieves the performance of the highly optimized OpenRT software ray
tracer on a (virtual) Pentium-4 with 8 to 12 GHz"

This looks really inteersting. Wonder how long will it take before
NVidia or ATI will buyout this guy.

Pozdrawiam.

Like ninjas, true hackers are shrouded in secrecy and mystery.
