Bilinear interpolation on a quadrilateral using Barycentric coordinates
A new algebraic method for hardware-accelerated bilinear interpolation on convex quadrilaterals is presented, using the Barycentric coordinate feature of modern GPUs.

I read it and used it and, indeed, it is a very interesting article.
I'm far from my blog's hay day, which largely comes from me not writing as much as I used to, but the most popular article of mine in the traffic that I do get is about interleaved gradient noise as a different type of low discrepancy object.
Glad to see it!

Hello you fine Internet folks,
Today we are continuing our deep-diving into the RDNA4 architecture with looking at the newly added Dynamic Register Allocation and how it compares to Nvidia's `setmaxnreg`.
Hope y'all enjoy!

Dynamic Register Allocation on AMD's RDNA 4 GPU Architecture
Modern GPUs often make a difficult tradeoff between occupancy (active thread count) and register count available to each thread.

I use Slang since I joined NVIDIA and the transition from HLSL/GLSL was trivial. Then, I discovered all the cool new features, and helped differentiable Slang.
We wrote an article on example use-cases for backpropagation for games, coming out soon in GPU Zen 3! gpuzen.blogspot.com/2024/11/gpu-...

✨A new article: (Yet another) Introduction to quaternions!
I'm a mathematician, so my desires are unconventional and my perspective is skewed, but I hope it will be useful at least in some way 😅
I've also added a useful cheatsheet in the end 🥳
