GPU Zen 4 - Call for Authors

@TahaTorabpour It should be available ... can't think of a reason why not.

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

We are No. 1

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@ahcox Unfortunately, no. It is hard to sell the book anywhere else when you are "locked" into the Amazon printing on demand/Kindle ecosystem. Which one did you have in mind?

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@pointinpolygon Awesome!

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

We are also going to post over here: https://t.co/h4nKRCMvZL

Just in case you are looking for an eXit.

@bkaradzic Nice! The impact of people moving away from Unity :-)

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@SebLagarde I think the main argument against using a G-Buffer is that you want to render full res and not upscale or use more blurring ... games just look better without G-Buffer. This is why many of us have moved to Forward+ or Visibility Buffer ...

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

Interesting take:

@pbrubaker @2Sexy4MyGPU @pbrubaker Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Is there a math library template that we could use as a starting point?

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

We -The Forge- are considering writing a new math library from scratch. We were thinking using ISPC for that. Is there already a math library that did that? We don't want to reinvent the wheel ... main idea is that we support intrinsics on mobile and console platforms well

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@tom_forsyth @mike_acton Yes. liboil looks interesting. Is there a newer version of this library somewhere?

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@2Sexy4MyGPU I am actually waiting for Pete to chime in ... I want to believe there is probably already a math library with ISPC?

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@2Sexy4MyGPU I agree, this is why I am posting. The thing is there are all the intrinsics that are supported and I believe we still only use SSE2 or so ... it feels like we are missing out. ISPC could solve this for us.

[Wolfgang Engel @wolfgangengel]

@promit_roy Yes, the Sony math library we use is good ... there are a few things we fundamentally have to change so ...
