GPU crashes can be hard to track down and fix and easier to introduce now with the newer, low-level graphics APIs. This presentation discusses causes and a few options gpuopen.com/presentations/20…. Keeping the debug layer clean may not always be enough but it is a good first step.

This Siggraph 2020 Last of Us II optimisation talk is a great example of what improves the frame performance can sometimes appear counterintuitive if seen in isolation. s3.amazonaws.com/nd.images/r…, youtube.com/watch?v=CvS6rX-6… 1/2

Using a nice image from the slides to highlight a point: Wave A will stall, and needs swapping, only when it tries to *use* the MEM data requested. If the compiler manages to fill the gap between MEM request and MEM available with other instructions, the wave will never stall.

Absolutely huge list of (mostly) graphics related resources, not all links are still active but you're bound to find something interesting in there tfpsly.free.fr/bookmarks.htm…

When storing integers in float variables, it is worth keeping in mind they can be represented accurately only up to a max of 16777216. After that, they are increasingly rounded to powers of 2. A good tool to test this h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter…, more info en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single….

This is a great introduction to neural networks, with a practical example, including sample code, to showcase their use youtube.com/watch?v=sTAqWRsE…

Haven't looked into neural networks' applications in gfx programming much yet but I find such targeted uses, where a NN is trained to solve a very specific problem (clip and rectify history for AA) using the game's visual output very appealing. Great talk! community.arm.com/cfs-file/_…
