1. A ray tracing device with improved performance, the device comprising:
a tree build processor configured to build a spatial partitioning structure;
a ray tracing processor configured to perform ray tracing based on the spatial partitioning structure;
a controller controlling the balance between operating performances of the tree build processor and the ray tracing processor adaptively by monitoring load conditions of the corresponding processors, wherein the controller generates a control parameter for adjusting the operating performance of at least one of the tree build processor and the ray tracing processor according to a comparison of loads of the tree build processor and the ray tracing processor.
