In the next few years, there will absolutely be an AI-related Milli Vanilli style incident

These two presentations are packed with insight into how a GPU schedules and executes work and advice on how to improve perf which, although targeting GCN, is largely transferable to other architectures as well, recommended read: gpuopen.com/wp-content/u..., gpuopen.com/wp-content/u...

Check out my latest WebGPU tech demo showcasing 400+ dynamic light sources, screen space reflections and more!

Wrote a frame render analysis article to go with it as well:

I was surprised to hear that many graphics people were surprised to learn that normals should be transformed with the adjugate transpose matrix. This is something I've written about extensively, so here's a new blog post that talks about what's going on.

"Moving Frostbite to PBR" is 10 years old already but still an amazing physically based rendering and lighting resource, so much knowledge packed in there. seblagarde.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/s...

In our next Tiny Glade update we'll bump the light limit from 32 to 32k while keeping the cost more or less the same.

The small limit has been a cop out, as we didn't quite know how to render huge numbers of (screen-space) shadow-casting lights without severe performance degradation.

Recordings for Graphics Programming Conference 2024 are now up. The lineup is packed with amazing talks ranging from rendering for games like Tiny Glade, Hades, and Baldur’s Gate 3, to even a talk on designing your own GPU!

…and here is what the mill looks like after 8 hours.

I often get asked about my book recommendations for graphics programming and game development. I updated my old list and made it easier to find on my website. With Black Friday/Cyber Monday, many are on sale right now (at least in Canada/US)

GPU crashes can be hard to track down and fix and easier to introduce now with the newer, low-level graphics APIs. This presentation discusses causes and a few options to detect them gpuopen.com/presentation.... Keeping the debug layer clean may not always be enough but it is a good first step.

Ok this will convince even the most skeptical of AI

This video, to me, is the perfect representation of both the beauty and the dark side of the promise of the internet. Excellent journalism on what is some scary shit.

What a chart.
