These notes accompany the open-source code published in GitHub which implements a GPU-based line-segment, surface-triangle intersection algorithm in CUDA. It mentions some relevant works and discusses issues specific to this implementation. The goal is to provide software documentation and greater clarity on collision buffer management which is sometimes omitted in online literature. For real-world applications, CPU-based implementations of the test are often deemed too slow to be useful. In contrast, the code described here targets Nvidia GPU devices and offers a solution that is vastly more efficient and scalable. The main API is also wrapped in Python. This geometry test is applied in various engineering problems, so the software developed can be reused in new situations.
