This post is part of the Path Tracing Optimizations in Indiana Jones series. While adding a path-tracing mode to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in 2024, we used Shader Execution Reordering (SER), a feature available on NVIDIA GPUs since the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series, to improve the GPU performance. To optimize the use of SER in the main path-tracing pass (), we used the NVIDIA��

As ray tracing becomes the predominant rendering technique in modern game engines, a single GPU RayGen shader can now perform most of the light simulation of a frame. To manage this level of complexity, it becomes necessary to observe a decomposition of shader performance at the HLSL or GLSL source-code level. As a result, shader profilers are now a must-have tool for optimizing ray tracing.
