- the new AMD hardware guide for RDNA3 has been released
- covers the shader execution model, the various wave execution models
- as well as how the shader core interacts with the memory hierarchy
- the article shows techniques implement conservative techniques to project bounding boxes and spheres into screen-space
- these techniques are optimized for use in culling use cases as it affects the meaning of near-z clipping
- presents trade-offs between the techniques in terms of computational cost and culling efficiency
- the article describes how the Use.GPU level of abstraction is continuing to evolve
- presents how scene management can be natively expressed as part of the same pass-based architecture
- shows how the same high-level logic allows switching between deferred and forward rendering easily
- additionally discusses strange limitations in the graphics APIs that make switching work between texture formats, pixel shaders, and compute shaders more difficult

- the article provides an overview of Tangen Space Encodings
- covers how to use Octahedral Encoding and further compress it with Tangent Angle
- from there, develops the suggested Diamond Encoding technique that extends the Octahedral approach into the tangent angle space
- additionally provides a brief section on rethinking how tangent space encoding might be better expressed on a mesh(let) level on modern hardware
- the article presents the Meta Quest exclusive features of the RenderDoc fork
- the extensions allow the visualization of the tiled-based hardware binning into screen tiles and how they are executed
- allows drawing call tracing to gather the latency of draw calls
- additionally allows the collection of hardware statistics of shaders through KHR_pipeline_executable_properties
- during the Vulkanised 2023 conference in Munich, a full-day tutorial will take place
- this post explains the target audience of the course and the associated price
- the article aims to develop an intuition for FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and how it’s underlying the math of waves
- provides a large number of interactive examples to experiment with the effects of different parameters
- contains a high-level introduction to complex numbers and how they relate to rotation and scaling
- the author describes the personal experience with GLSL and HLSL gained through moving AnKi 3D between the shading languages
- mentions why HLSL seems like a better bet for the long-term future
- also mentions shortcomings of using HLSL when developing Vulkan applications
- the blog post explains how to improve the precision when encoding min-max per tile
- the author suggests storing only one as an absolute value and a delta to reconstruct the other
- the article covers how Wave Matrix Multiply Accumulate (WMMA)
- presents how to use the intrinsics available in the HIP framework to accelerate the matrix operations typically found in machine learning work
