I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code.

Ten Years of D3D12
For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for nearly ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has be...

bind groups suck because they are essentially descriptor sets, and descriptor sets suck because they make a thing that should be easy, extremely difficult

I can't recall if I verified its output with any rigor, but it looked reasonable enough at the time (I mostly wrote it as a learning experience).

Oblivion isn't my favorite TES but the remaster feels so damn fresh after the recent RPGs, and I see people on Steam share my opinion. Plus I'm getting like 200 FPS on a laptop!
Great job, Bethesda, now do Morrowind!

this is pretty cool. the original X-Com was a 2D isometric game but the collision system itself was 3D. objects in the world would have collisions defined by vertical stacks of predefined patterns. this allowed the game to do accurate line of sight and hit detection. very cool!

Judging by the Blackwell whitepaper, RTX Mega Geometry is an implementation of ideas from this HPG 2023 paper by Carsten Benthin and me. It is cool to see this broadly deployed so soon. Hopefully, cross-vendor standardization will be just as swift.

I love how Microsoft deprecated _ReadWriteBarrier(), but there's no alternative for it except "use std::atomic instead".
So std::atomic has to push/pop deprecation warnings every time it needs to call it.

RESTIR is one of those moments in computer graphics where a method is too useful to ignore, but too complex to fit in a textbook paragraph - and with time, the explanation simplifies and it becomes canon. This course by Chris Wyman is a huge effort to explain and simplify

Nice summary of occupancy as a way to hide mem latency, but it is not the only (and sometimes not the best) way. Helping the compiler to add more instructions between the mem read issue and the data use by for eg partially unrolling a loop might help as well (from gpu-primitives-course.github.io)
