On my way to GPC together with some other fine folks from Remedy. Looking forward to meeting you all again to talk about graphics and drink Texels!

Met lots of internet people at GPC already! Shame there are all these presentations interrupting our conversations

Note for next year: print my profile picture on my badge so that people recognize me (apparently I don't look like that)

Graphics Programming Conference The Graphics Programming Conference is a conference for graphics programmers, from student to industry veteran, taking place in November in Europe.

I'm gonna be attending the graphicsprogrammingconference.com in Breda, Netherlands this year. My first ever conference!

Any chance I'll be able to meet anyone from here?

Time to grow a beard!

Hope to see you there!

See you there!

Ticket booked, looking forward to it!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Solved it by the ancient tradition of Just Reading The Code.

Turns out continuously taking the RCU lock by inserting thousands of elements into a BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH from within a NMI is Not Good for your system.

Rolled our own (simpler) version directly in eBPF.

We're releasing our Neural Radiance Caching benchmark soon. Here's what you need to know 🧵

For clarity - all shading you see in the video is inferred through our high quality Neural Radiance Cache at the first intersection point (primary rays).

Wrapping C/C++ libraries in Rust doesn’t have to be painful.

We’ve written up our approach to simple, reproducible build.rs setups using just cc + bindgen—no CMake, no autotools, no drama.

If you care about FFI and clean builds, this is for you.

Nice to see our benchmark get some traction!

Breda features a highly customizable sun/atmosphere editor 🌇. This allows us to tweak many physics-based parameters 🔬 which influence the look of our atmosphere. In this video, we go over each of the settings to display their effect on the scene.

A while back i gave a talk on building and shipping a rust ui engine. It’s now free to watch here: www.infoq.com/presentation...

In our path tracers we keep track of a world space hash grid, which contains radiance values associated with ray directions and positions 🌞. Based on the path spread, we can stop tracing rays and instead directly use the cached radiance, still achieving an accurate result 🎯 at a lower cost.

The render graph debug composer is an essential component of the Breda framework. It allows us to view any resource we use during render graph construction 🏗️. In this video, we select a few textures which are used while rendering our final image.

Breda is our in-house rendering framework. This video highlights the efficient workflow we use for development. There are three steps when adding a new compute shader. (1) Setup resources with our render graph. (2) Define the shader in a yaml config file. (3) Write simple shaders using bindless.

This is some early footage of our work on neural radiance caching (NRC). With some aggressive learning rates 🎓 we achieve quite responsive results! Here we tweak the radiance coming from an object in the room next to us 💫. NRC is getting us closer to responsive and stable radiance caching 🌇.

Enjoy!

@dachsjaeger.bsky.social thanks for the shout out of GPC, reallynice to see it get mentioned! 🫡

It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.
