I'm just going off what I was told there, I was forced to make the fix since the game developers no longer were partnered to the company that owned the license to the content.

Fair enough, I can't say anything I've done has ever caused an issue like that (A new ticket would have been made and sent to me.) But I also can't say that it has never happened, so I'm not really in a position to disag

> Floating point calculations aren't IEEE compliant To late to edit, but I want to half retract this statement, they are IEEE compliant, but due to optimizations that can be applied by the driver developers they aren't guarante

After a bunch of testing and looking around I think I should actually change my statement. GPUs do offer IEEE floating point compliance by default, but don't strictly adhere to it. Multiple optimizations that can be applied by the driv

I will note, half of the customer facing bugs I get are "works on nvidia." Only to find out that it is a problem with the game and not the driver. Nvidia allows you to ignore a lot of the spec and it causes game devs to miss a lot

The other part of the optimization issue is that you can't take to long to try anything and everything. Most of the optimizations happen on the driver side, and anything that takes to long will show up as shader compilation stutter. I

I mean this already happened [1]. But it's either that or games running like crap because they're not properly tested on our cards. [1] https://www.neowin.net/news/yandex-alleges-amds-windows-driv...

In the case that does happen, then we don't apply that setting. Most of the changes applied are extensively tested and toggles like that are more often used for already broken shaders.

by Cieric 2y ago
That's specifically because gpus aren't IEEE compliant, and calculations will drift differently on different gpus. Double precision can help avoid divide by zero errors in some shaders because most don't guard against that an

I can't give details on how we do our selections (not nvidia but another gpu manufacturer). But we do have direct contacts into a lot of studios and we do try and help them fix their game if possible before ever putting something in th

Finger printing based on shaders is quite rare, really most of the time we detect things like the exe name calling us or sometime, very rarely they will give us a better name through an extension. (unreal engine does this automatically). Fr

I don't work on the nvidia side of things but it's likely to be the same. Shader replacement is only one of a whole host of things we can do to make games run faster. It's actually kind of rare for use to do them since it boa

Firefox reader view seems to be a slight improvement since it removes the random right alignments in the article.

Yeah specifically when I signed up they did the a small charge then, I assumed it only ever do a single charge to check for the legitimacy of the card. If I ever wanted to do a paid tier, I would have changed the card details. But it was a

I've never really mentioned it elsewhere, but the last time I even considered doing something with oracle was I believe when they released the free-tier arm instance and I was just going to compile some of my projects to arm to see if

Alloca is allocations on the stack, seems the kernel might be stack based, but the os itself has it's own implementation of malloc. Which is heap based. https://github.com/google/pebble/blob/main/src

I love the idea of this, but sadly I can't get it to work in Firefox, Chrome or Edge on my work pc, probably because I can't find "--enable-features=Vulkan" equivalent in the about:flags and the argument doesn't app

Not to take anything away from the info you've provided since it is all interesting. But it seems francisco's gender is pretty debated. There are a few that talk about them being a female with certainty, but without any reasoning

While I've used c-reduce before, I've never done it in a way where it could be destructive. However speculating based on what I do know. I think the 2 things I would do would be in the interesting-ness test, grep for already known

That depends completely on the interesting-ness test that's provided. If you're looking for a compiler bug (like I do often for my language), then the interesting-ness test checks the compile logs for information like the "Se

I remember when I was looking into this at one point in time. I was trying to figure out a good implementation that didn't require you to store multiple different positions. The most I really ever got was a reverse order transparency [

Some google searching brought up this. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/profile-guided-o... I'm only reading over it now, but I'm going to test it out a bit when I can.

I'm not sure I'd say that it can't be done. In some languages it could be implemented if the language itself supports optionals. So "bool ? x" could result in an Optional<type(x)>, while "Optional<type

I love looking at stuff like this, working in the GPU space has only ever renewed my ambitions to work on similar projects. The hardest thing I always ran into with the more optimized fill algorithms was working around the single pixel hole
