#raytracing folks, what do you think of next event estimation vs simple MIS (generate either brdf sample or light sample, use total probability in MC estimator)?

My former student insists on NEE, but it has so many special cases that I doubt it's a good idea pedagogically.

AMD's RDNA 4: Revolutionizing GPU Memory Access with Out-of-Order Processing

#HalfLife2RTX seems good, but is still a work in progress that will take a lot of time to tune since RayTracing kills performance and not all bugs have been ironed out.

The Half-Life 2 RTX demo proposes a nice visual upgrade and not much else - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-half-life-2-rtx-demo-proposes-a-nice-visual-upgrade-and-not-much-else #ValveCorporation #ElectronicArts #Half-Life2RTX #ValveSoftware #VivendiGames #SinglePlayer #Firstperson #Half-Life2 #RayTracing #Strategy #RTXRemix #Hardware #Shooter #Xbox360 #Puzzle #Valve #Xbox #Mod #PS3 #PC

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!

The big elephant in the room is NVIDIA and the CUDA ecosystem. That's is going to be really difficult to break without something that disrupts the market.
