We describe an algorithm for computing ray/Bézier patch intersections from a hardware design aspect. This algorithm uses patch subdivision and other geometrical techniques to find a given maximum number of intersection points nearest to the ray origin. We propose a pipeline-based hardware architecture, verify the number of pipeline stages required by simulation, and estimate the performance of a load-balanced implementation based on a state-of-the-art digital signal processor (DSP).
