A Survey of Temporal Antialiasing Techniques: presentation notes

At Eurographics 2020 virtual conference, Lei Yang did a presentation of the Survey of Temporal Antialiasing Techniques report which included a good overview of TAA and temporal upsampling, its issues and future research.

I have taken some notes while watching it and I am sharing them here in case anyone finds them useful.

Optimizing for the RDNA Architecture: presentation notes

AMD recently released a great presentation on RDNA, with a lot of details on the new GPU architecture and optimisation advice.

While watching it I took some notes (like you do in real conferences) and I am sharing them here in case anyone finds them useful. They can be used as a TLDR but I actively encourage you to watch the presentation as well, some parts won’t make much sense without it. I have added some extra notes of my own in brackets [] as well.

GPU architecture resources

I am often get asked in DMs about how GPUs work. There is a lot of information on GPU architectures online, one can start with these:

• Render Hell 2.0: Easy to follow and thorough introduction with extensive list of references for further study.
• Life of a triangle – NVIDIA’s logical pipeline. High level view of the NVidia’s GPU architecture
• Triangles are precious. High level view of AMD’s GPU (GCN) architecture.

And then can refer to these for a more in-depth study:
