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.
