REAC 2024 DAY 1 Resource Management Architecture in 4A Engine. *HD reupload*

The talk gives an overview and implementation details of resources management and streaming architecture in the next iteration of 4A Engine. Many architectural changes in the engine were designed around ray-tracing as a first class citizen and induced some uncommon challenges of BVH streaming, persistent scene representation, etc. Addressing those challenges required usage of relatively new and not widely-adopted functionality of GPU feedback streaming, bindless resources, and more. This talk starts with the discussion about new resources and binding models in the 4A Engine as well as memory management associated with them. Then, it will follow-up with the streaming approach for geometry (including BVH) and textures which relies on GPU feedback information. Finally, we'll share some information about performance implications of discussed solutions and advanced debugging toolkits developed for and on top of the new resource model (including live GPU debugging, logging, asserts, breakpoints, etc.) Speaker: Oleksandr Drazhevskyi is a Technical Director at 4A Games working on in-house 4A Engine and the next instalment of the Metro series. Before joining 4A Games he worked as Technical Architect at Ubisoft Entertainment helping to ship games such as Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Trials, and few other franchises as well as helping to shape architecture of some of the Ubisoft's internal engines. His main areas of interests include: offline and run-time rendering, engines architecture, hardware and performance, computation models, and few others.
