- the GDC video presents a discussion of the new work graph features for D3D (also a Vulkan AMD-specific extension exists)
- explains the issue with the current ExecuteIndirect model
- shows an overview of the API model and how it aims to solve the challenges
- presents an overview of a compute shader rasterizer and a runtime GPU scattering system based on the technology
- additionally discusses the support level
- the first blog in a series about CPU optimizations
- this part presents how different implementations of max between floats can generate very different code
- presents the effect of branch misprediction on performance and how to use the AMD profiler to detect through hardware counters
- the video recording of I3D 2024 sessions covers the following papers
- Efficient Particle-Based Fluid Surface Reconstruction Using Mesh Shaders and Bidirectional Two-Level Grids, ShaderPerFormer: Platform-independent Context-aware Shader Performance Predictor
- Transforming a Non-Differentiable Rasterizer into a Differentiable One with Stochastic Gradient Estimation
- these papers cover a focus on performance from an academic focus
Grinding Gear Games are seeking experienced C++ Gameplay and UI Programmers to join our incredibly talented team. We’re after programmers to help design and implement gameplay and UI elements for Path of Exile using modern C++.
- the talk provides an overview of the experimental Triangle Visibility Buffer 2.0 implementation
- The presented approach uses only compute shaders to write the visibility buffer
- discusses the pipeline design, different approaches based on triangle sizes, and how performance compares
- additionally presents which features are still missing compared to hardware rasterization
- the paper presents a method that aims to unify microfacets and volumes for light transport purposes
- the paper shows that both can be expressed as stochastic implicit surfaces (SIS) and, more specifically, Gaussian process implicit surfaces (GPIS)
- discusses the derivation, representation generation, and tracing aspects of GPIS
- additionally discusses limitations regarding performance and quality
- the blog post presents why the author suggests using box plots over bar charts as the default way to represent performance
- shows annotated examples of how box plots can express a lot of helpful information in a concise form
