1. A method for performing ray tracing operations, the method comprising:
initiating a bounding volume hierarchy traversal for a ray against geometry represented by a bounding volume hierarchy;
identifying multiple nodes of the bounding volume hierarchy for concurrent intersection tests, wherein the multiple nodes are not part of an ancestor chain of the bounding volume hierarchy, and wherein the multiple nodes are not part of the same level of the bounding volume hierarchy; and
performing an intersection test for a first node of the multiple nodes at least partially concurrently with a second node of the multiple nodes.
