| OS | Linux* Ubuntu 22.04 |
| Software | Intel® Rendering Toolkit (Render Kit), Jupyter Notebooks, Intel® Developer Cloud (IDC) |
This repo contains Jupyter Notebook Trainings for Render Kit that has been designed to be used on the Intel Developer Cloud for hands-on workshops.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Create high-fidelity photorealistic images using the Intel OSPRay renderer.
- Use the Embree API to execute ray-surface intersection tests required for performant ray-tracing applications.
- Use the Open VKL API to execute ray-volumetric hit queries required for performant rendering of volumetric objects.
- Use Intel Open Image Denoise to reducing the amount of necessary samples per pixel in ray tracing-based rendering applications by filtering out noise inherent to stochastic ray tracing methods.
- Use Intel OSPRay Studio to create rendered pictures by seting up the relevant parameters in its interactive interface.

| Modules | Description |
|---|---|
| Render Kit Introduction | + Introduction and Motivation for the Intel Rendering Toolkit components. |
| Intel® OSPRay tutorial with CPU & GPU | + An introduction to OSPRAY, a high-performance ray-tracing renderer for scientific visualization and high-fidelity photorealistic rendering. |
| Intel® OSPRay tutorial with denoise | + A basic tutorial on how to implement Open Image Denoise into OSPRAY so the output images are denoised. |

Each module folder has a Jupyter Notebook file (*.ipynb), this can be opened in Jupyter Lab to view the training contant, edit code and compile/run. Along with the Notebook file, there is a lab and a src folder with SYCL source code for samples used in the Notebook. The module folder also has build_*.sh and run_*.sh files which can be used in shell terminal to compile and run each sample code.
The Jupyter notebooks are tested and can be run on Intel Developer Cloud without any installation necessary, below are the steps to access these Jupyter notebooks on Intel Developer Cloud:
- Register on Intel Developer Cloud (IDC).
- Create an account and/or log in.
- Once in IDC dashboard, go to Training in the left panel and then click the Launch JupyterLab botton in the upper right.
- Open Terminal in Jupyter Lab and git clone the repo and access the Notebooks.
Note that the oneAPI Base Toolkit and the Intel Rendering Toolkit are already pre-installed in IDC.
Intel OSPRay, Intel Embree, and Intel OpenVKL based programs need to use the environment variable ZE_FLAT_DEVICE_HIERARCHY and set it to COMPOSITE.
Use the following command in your shell or Jupyter Notebook cell before running programs:
export ZE_FLAT_DEVICE_HIERARCHY=COMPOSITE
