Bringing autodiff to shaders is a challenging task. It takes years of effort to design the language that integrates differentiation as a first-class citizen, allowing autodiff to work seamlessly with custom types, arbitrary control flow, generics and dynamic dispatch.

Slang is an open-source, cross-platform shading language that targets D3D, Vulkan, GLSL, CUDA and C++. Today, it is fully differentiable, which means you can autodiff your existing shader code!

It is traditional for programmers to measure our ages in hexadecimal. Today I became 2B, so it only seemed appropriateā€¦
Itā€™s me in cosplay as 2B.

(1/5) Shading language and real-time rendering innovation are inextricably tied together. In this new talk, Slang researcher, Yong He, describes the details of new language features in Slang, and how they are used by real-time path tracing researchers. youtu.be/DUOn9ek0bdI

We've been co-researching shading language and real-time rendering innovation for years. @TangentVector's recent talk describes the Slang journey from research to production.

Folks who would like to learn more about the Slang shading language and our experiences deploying it at NVIDIA can check out the recording of my talk at the LLVM WiCT meetup: youtu.be/XDJdHKIY06E

Our real-time path tracers depend on many of Slang's advanced language features, and we co-design Slang language and renderers together. Come see @TangentVector talk about the journey of growing Slang from research to production.

Are there any (accessible) articles on how programming language design influences *what* gets built with them, particularly articles that contrast the needs of commerce vs. the needs of communities and the public commons?

Iā€™ll be back with more Metroid Dread at 6pm PDT. Will @Valfole complete her crochet metroid before I can complete the game? (Probably, yeah) twitch.tv/tessfactor
