/**
 * Rays against a mesh's triangles: the nearest hit (never the triangle a ray leaves) and, for the ambient occlusion
 * rays, whether anything is hit, by one of several backends (the ray_backend setting, or per job):
 *   embree:  Intel's Embree 4 on the CPU, on the thread that asks (no threads of its own); always there
 *   hiprt:   AMD's HIPRT on the GPU (AMD through HIP, NVIDIA through CUDA, loaded when first asked for by Orochi),
 *            when built with DLU_HIPRT and a GPU is there; else embree. One GPU for the process, used by one thread
 *            at a time; its time is not CPU time.
 * A scene is built and traced on the thread that asks, so its time counts towards that thread's CPU time
 * (UgcThrottle). Scenes aren't shared between threads. docs/UgcServer.md ("Processing options") has the details.
