* Package name : ospray Version : 2.11.0 * URL : https://www.ospray.org/ * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: C++ Description : Open, Scalable, and Portable Ray Tracing Engine Intel OSPRay is an open source, scalable, and portable ray tracing engine for high-performance, high-fidelity visualization on Intel Architecture CPUs. OSPRay is part of the Intel oneAPI Rendering Toolkit and is released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license. The purpose of OSPRay is to provide an open, powerful, and easy-to-use rendering library that allows one to easily build applications that use ray tracing based rendering for interactive applications (including both surface- and volume-based visualizations). OSPRay is completely CPU-based, and runs on anything from laptops, to workstations, to compute nodes in HPC systems. OSPRay is very popular in scientific visualization community and several packages in the Debian archive would benefit from it like VTK, ParaView or F3d. OSPRay package depends on Embree with ISPC enabled build (#956816), rkcommon (#1039110), and optional dependencies like Open VKL (https://www.openvkl.org/) or Open Image Denoise (https://www.openimagedenoise.org/). I plan to package and upload the mandatory dependencies first then package OSPRay and finally package the optional dependencies. I already have an experimental package working at https://salsa.debian.org/mzf/ospray (it requires special build of embree with ispc) and I plan to maintain this package myself. However, I'm open to co- maintenance and team maintenance if it someone volunteers.
