Intel introduces new support for Vulkan ray-tracing in Linux operating systems Intel has been preparing the vital driver infrastructure for handling Vulkan ray-tracing on Linux for quite a long time. In December, they blended SPIR-V and NIR ray queries bits arrangements for VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline and is now moving toward the beginning of uncovering VK_KHR_ray_query capacities. SPIR-V is capacity innovation, and not an in-memory type, reasonable to improvements, and so on. SPIR-V is utilized to save incorporated shaders on disk, yet should be changed over to other formats, such as NIR, to be additionally improved and decreased to simple GPU directions....
