AMD developed Radeon™ Rays to help developers get the most out of AMD GPUs, as well as save them from maintaining hardware-dependent code. Radeon™ Rays exposes a well-defined C API for scene construction and performing asynchronous ray intersection queries. It is not limited to AMD hardware or a specific operating system. 

Radeon™ Rays can be easily distributed, and through its API helps assure compatibility and best performance across a wide range of hardware platforms.

Additional features:

• Supports DirectX®12 and Vulkan®.
• Geometry update without full rebuild.
• Logging mechanism for easier debugging.
• Set of tests to validate changes to the source code.

Requirements

CMake 3.12 and above.

spdlog library installed for logging.

• DirectX®12: a 64-bit version of Windows® 10, and a GPU and drivers that support DirectX®12 features including Shader Model 6.0.
• Vulkan®: a 64-bit version of Windows® 10 or Linux, and a GPU and drivers that support Vulkan® version 1.2.
