Speaker

Ricardo Garcia (Igalia, S.L.)

Description

This talk will discuss the problems with the traditional vertex processing pipeline and present how mesh shading solves these problems. Instead of processing a fixed set of input vertices, mesh shaders can create an arbitrary topology of vertices and primitives. Mesh shading also includes a new solution for geometry amplification: task shaders.

The talk should be scheduled before Timur's talk about implementing mesh shaders in the RADV Mesa driver.
