Render Pipeline Shaders SDK
A comprehensive and extensible Render Graph toolkit.
The Render Pipeline Shaders (RPS) SDK provides a framework for graphics engines to use Render Graphs with explicit APIs (e.g. DirectX® 12 or Vulkan®), with a generally optimal resource barrier and memory aliasing scheduler. Its compiler-like architecture is designed to be both controllable and extensible.
Download the latest version - v1.1
This release adds the following features:
- Linux support for the base library and the RPSL compiler.
- Support for dynamically loading Vulkan functions.
- Support for latest stable Agility SDK 1.608.3.
- Automatic marking of the discard flags to accesses.
- Bug fixes.
Benefits
- Enables full-frame scheduling and pipelining optimizations.
- Handles resource barrier generation and batching.
- Manages transient resources with optional, automatic memory scheduling and aliasing.
- Allows constructing render graphs implicitly from a high-level description of the frame. Automatically generates and embeds debug info such as resource and pass names.
- Compiler-like architecture with extensible frontend, backend and graph-processing pipeline.
- The frontend API allows users to create custom render graph programming interfaces.
- Provides reference backend implementations for DirectX® 12 and Vulkan®. (A DirectX® 11 backend is also provided for backward compatibility and demonstration purpose).
- The backend allows partial customization via a set of runtime callback APIs.
- Users can also build new runtime backends targeting custom API / RHI layers.
- Tools for visualizing and debugging resource properties, heap layout, and the graph.
- Exhaustive and optional debug printing.
- The visualizer can be integrated into applications as a GUI overlay.
