    “A Gentle Introduction to Vulkan
    for Rendering and Compute Workloads”

    Lukas Lipp
    TU Wien

    Bernhard Kerbl
    Université Côte d'Azure

    Abstract:Join us and take your first steps with the Vulkan API, a modern and open graphics API from the Khronos Group. This Tutorial will cover the very basics but also more complex applications in the fields of real-time-rendering and GPGPU computing. No prior experience is required, though having some basic understanding will make the experience more fun. This tutorial will be presented in a lecture-only format and requires no active coding by the participants. As optional homework, participants are invited to also try out the educational Vulkan framework which was used during the Vulkanised 2023 tutorial to test their newly-acquired knowledge, as well as a separate suite of GPU compute coding tasks.

    Lukas Lipp

    Lukas Lipp is a third-year Ph.D. Candidate at TU Wien. His area of research centers around both real-time and offline rendering, with a particular emphasis on differentiable rendering. Besides working on his own research framework which is based on Vulkan, he contributed to the development of a Vulkan programming framework used in an introductory graphics course at TU Wien as well as for a hands-on tutorial at the Vulkanised 2023 conference. He also gave lectures about Vulkan at university and at Vulkanised.

    Bernhard Kerbl

    Bernhard Kerbl is a postdoc at Inria, Université Côte d'Azure in the GraphDeco group. He obtained his PhD from the Graz University of Technology, followed by a postdoc position at TU Wien. His past and current research focuses on point-based rendering, high-performance computing, differentiable rendering and novel-view synthesis. Bernhard has taught GPU programming lectures at several Austrian universities.

    4:30pm – 5:30pmKeynote

    “High Performance Graphics at Guerrilla,
    an Art Director’s Perspective”

    Jan-Bart van Beek

    Guerrilla

    As Studio Art Director, Jan-Bart van Beek oversees the art and animation quality of all Guerrilla projects at both studios. A photography student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, Jan-Bart turned to computer graphics software to enhance his work. After graduation he applied his knowledge as a CG artist in the field of advertising. His ambition to create something more enduring led him to join Guerrilla, where he quickly became the Lead Artist on Killzone and the Art Director on Killzone 2 and beyond, before taking on the roles of Studio Art Director on the Horizon franchise and Studio Director at Guerrilla.

His research focuses on physically-based rendering in both micro and macro ends, encompassing areas such as appearance modeling and representation, physical light transport theory, and real-time ray tracing practices. Lingqi's outstanding contributions have been recognized through various accolades, including the SIGGRAPH 2019 Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award and a SIGGRAPH 2022 Best Paper Honorable Mention.

    Day 3 Select Sessions

    “Ray Tracing with Imagination:
    From Caustic and Wizard to Photon”

    Simon Fenney
    Imagination Technologies

    Abstract: Imagination has been developing and producing ray tracing hardware for around 12 years. In this talk we will look back at some of the early work that started at Caustic Graphics, e.g. the Caustic 2500 accelerator card of 2013, moving through “Wizard/Plato” that was demonstrated circa 2015, and on to “Photon”, the latest technology we offer to our silicon partners. We will look at some of the principles that have remained in common but also examine a few of the differences that have evolved over the years.

    1:30pm – 2:30pmKeynote
