- the article presents how ordering mesh data can influence rendering performance
- compares different algorithms developed for this purpose
- the primary focus is on how to train these algorithms using machine learning techniques
- analyzes the results of different approaches and presents results
- the article shows how to enable AMD FreeSync using D3D12 and Vulkan
- presents how to use the library to encode color information into the desired HDR display format
- Vulkan 1.2 has been released
- this release promotes 23 extensions into core Vulkan
- including extensions such as imageless_framebuffer, timeline semaphores, and better support for HLSL shaders
- Microsoft open-sourced two layers to help to port to D3D12
- D3D12 Translation Layer helps mapping from D3D11 style APIs to D3D12 style
- Resource binding, renaming, sub-allocation, pooling, and deferred destruction
- Batching and threading
- Residency management
- D3D11On12 is implemented on top of the previous layer and contains the D3D11 specific aspects
- the paper examines k-d trees and bounding volume hierarchies
- comparing the approaches with varying cone sizes
