One weekend may be fast, but for realtime performance what we really nees is RT in under 16ms.

Just update result to screen every 16ms, you can trace many pixels in that time.

Basis texture compression became open source a while back, no idea how I missed to post about it here.

Shows the proposed DXR traversal shader to support LOD. No support for dynamic geometry, but stochastic selection of discrete LODs is the better idea i would say. (EDIT: cache inefficient - dynamic geometry still requested

)
As DimitryKo has pointed out, this is listed as potential DXR 1.1 feature: https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/Raytracing.html#potential-future-features
(There we have a nice usecase of doing outer loop on compute core, remembering AMDs TMU patent.)
