| schestowitz__ | <p>As you may know, I’ve been working on VK-GL-CTS for some time now. VK-GL-CTS the Conformance Test Suite for Vulkan and OpenGL, a large collection of tests used to verify implementations of the Vulkan and OpenGL APIs work as intended by the specification. My work has been mainly focused on the Vulkan side of things as part of Igalia's ongoing collaboration with Valve. </p> | May 01 09:12 |
| schestowitz__ | <p> Last year, Khronos released the official specification of the Vulkan ray tracing extensions and I had the chance to participate in the final stages of the process by improving test coverage and fixing bugs in existing CTS tests, which is work that continues to this day mixed with other types of tasks in my backlog. </p> | May 01 09:12 |
| schestowitz__ | <p> As part of this effort I learned many bits of the new Vulkan Ray Tracing API and even provided some very minor feedback about the spec, which resulted in me being listed as contributor to the VK_KHR_acceleration_structure extension. </p> | May 01 09:12 |
| schestowitz__ | <p> Now that the waters are a bit more calm, I wanted to give you a list of resources and a small overview of the main concepts behind the Vulkan version of ray tracing.</p></blockquote></li> | May 01 09:12 |
