It has been a while since I posted my last update. I have made some major changes since then. I am still working on optimizations of the ray traversal algorithms and data structures. I have implemented soft shadows and glossy specular reflection by using a technique that loosely follows what Cyril Crassin pioneered and what Epic's Unreal Engine 4 is using for dynamic lighting (Sparse Voxel Octree Cone Tracing).

Surprisingly, the performance on an Nvidia Geforce GTX 580 is not much slower than a single GTX 680. I suppose there are some ways I could better take advantage of the Kepler architecture of the 680 over the 580's Fermi.
