abstract = {We present an efficient runtime cache to accelerate the display of procedurally
displaced and textured implicit surfaces, exploiting spatio-temporal coherence between
consecutive frames. We cache evaluations of implicit textures covering a conceptually infinite
space. Rotating objects, zooming onto surfaces, and locally deforming shapes now requires minor
cache updates per frame and benefits from mostly cached values, avoiding expensive
re-evaluations. A novel parallel hashing scheme supports arbitrarily large data records and
allows for an automated deletion policy: new information may evict information no longer
required from the cache, resulting in an efficient usage. This sets our solution apart from
previous caching techniques, which do not dynamically adapt to view changes and interactive
shape modifications. We provide a thorough analysis on cache behavior for different procedural
noise functions to displace implicit base shapes, during typical modeling operations.},
