Optimizing GPU occupancy and resource usage with large thread groups
When using a compute shader, it is important to consider the impact of thread group size on performance. Limited register space, memory latency and SIMD occupancy each affect shader performance in different ways. This article discusses potential performance issues, and techniques and optimizations that can dramatically increase performance if correctly applied.
Performance Tweets Series: Shaders, Threading, Compiling
Welcome back to our performance & optimization series. Today, we’ll be looking more closely at shaders. On the surface, it may look as if they …
Fetching From Cubes and Octahedrons
For GPU-side dynamically generated data structures which need 3D spherical mappings, two of the most useful mappings are cubemaps and octahedral maps. This post explores …
