Description
The ray tracing pipeline API provides some ability to reorder for locality, but it is useful to have more control over how the reordering happens and what information is included in the reordering. The shader API provides a hit object to contain result information from the hit which can be used as part of the explicit sorting plus options that contain an integer for hint bits to use to add more locality.
