Ask for resource about fast ray-tracing algorithm


First, I am sorry for this rough question, but I don't want to introduce too much details, so I just ask for related resource like articles, libraries or tips.

My program need to do intensive computation of ray-triangle intersection (there are millions of rays and triangles), and my goal is to make it as fast as I can.

What I have done is:

  1. Use the fastest ray-triangle algorithm that I know.

  2. Use Octree.(From Game Programming Gem 1, 4.10. 4.11)

  3. Use An Efficient and Robust Ray–Box Intersection Algorithm which is used in octree algorithm.

It is faster than before I applied those better algorithms, but I believe it could be faster, Could you please shed lights on any possible places that could make it faster?
