Good setup
Mine is a little bit more powerfull but as #raytracing and graphics lover in general my gaming PC needs the power

Just finished The Witcher 3 - Blood and Wine. This game is certain one of the best games I've ever played. Ran smoothly on #manjaro #linux with #raytracing and #optiscaler btw.

I'd love to be able to write kernels I can use on both the CPU and GPU, so this sounds interesting.
Examining #RDNA4's out-of-order memory accesses in detail, and investigating with testing
#RDNA 4's memory subsystem enhancements are exciting and improve performance across a variety of workloads. #AMD specifically calls out benefits in #raytracing. But RDNA 4's scheme for handling memory dependencies isn't fundamentally different from that of #GCN many years ago. RDNA 4’s makes the most significant change to AMD’s #GPU memory subsystem since RDNA launched in 2019.

#Raytracing #BVH traversal struggles on GPUs due to irregular control flow.
Our Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection Function (LSNIF) is an ML-based alternative for optimized #rendering.
Join us at @i3d for our talk!
AMD GPUOpenUsing Neural Networks for Geometric RepresentationExplore how Neural Intersection Functions (NIF) and the enhanced LSNIF are poised to reshape ray tracing by replacing traditional BVH traversal with efficient, GPU-friendly neural networks for accelerated performance and high-fidelity imagery.
But what if it didn't have ray tracing?

Just realised that in my software GPU wavefront pathtracing I could implement efficient virtual memory by storing any 'page miss' paths and then sort by page, load/unload pages and process the relevant paths.
Does anyone know if this has been done before?

#FluidX3D #CFD v3.2 is out! I've implemented the much requested #GPU summation for object force/torque; it's ~20x faster than #CPU #multithreading. 
Horizontal sum in #OpenCL was a nice exercise - first local memory reduction and then hardware-supported atomic floating-point add in VRAM, in a single-stage kernel. Hammering atomics isn't too bad as each of the ~10-340 workgroups dispatched at a time does only a single atomic add.
Also improved volumetric #raytracing!

Due to recent advances in generative #AI for images and movies, I can't help but wonder: Is #Raytracing dead (yet)?
Hero Wavelength Spectral Sampling successfully implemented! 
Both: 4 samples per pixel
Left: one wavelength per ray
Right: four wavelengths per ray
With only a modest increase in runtime duration, the image becomes much smoother. This is more efficient than just adding more samples per pixel!
Implementing iridescence with thin film interference in my rendering engine!
