Shiny Toy pathmarcher on Shadertoy

This looks incredible, raymarching with GI, glossy road, glossy car: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ldsGWB

The future of real-time graphics is noisy!

  1. Both current CPUs and GPUs would already be faster if their creators only deigned to have utilized 16nm SRAM chips & silver wire.

  2. the website link crashes Firefox all the time - so I can't view it :(

  3. So am I (((( and it crashes Chrome..

  4. In USA created an electronic brain (of the same size) which performance is 80 petaflops (path tracing needs only 1 petaflop) at 20 watts power consumption. So, by taking advantage of the russian room-temperature superconductors (confirmed at Cambridge University of England in 2010), such device could get much much faster than it actually is.

  5. Can CUDA 6 help to increase the performance of Brigade 3?

  6. NVIDIA video cards are that slow due also to nonuse of the microthread technique .

  7. Dear Anonymous (the one who wrote the "electronic brain) who are you? You're littering your crazy bullcrap all over the raytracey blog.

  8. The sixth-generation computer (Real-time 4D Graphics ASIC) :

    * Room-temperature superconductor ‘bipolar’ {can as well utilize only one type of carriers which makes it even faster} transistors {Dayem bridge Josephson junctions} & superconductive wiring

    * Emitter-Coupled Logic

    * Ternary combinational logic solely {no sequential logic at all}

    * Explicit Data Graph Execution (non von Neumann)

    * Single core with 8 threads & machine belt architecture (a few of extremely long superconducting registers)

    * Wax-enamelled multiple-layer integrated circuit

    * 100-exabyte Hyper CD-ROM (Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania)

    * Mercury programming language (non von Neumann)

    ~ No quantum schemes, photonics, operating memory, cache, hard disk, vector (array) processing, floating point and other useless things.

    Summary: the highest physically possible specific performance, no heat generation at all, great scalability, good versatility.

  9. Just know that Phiar Corporation 's 1.7-terahertz hot electron bipolar transistors could let path tracing in games already now.
