Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[Media] 100% Rust path tracer running on CPU, GPU (CUDA), and OptiX (for denoising) using one of my upcoming projects. There is no C/C++ code at all, the program shares a single rust crate for the core raytracer and uses rust for the viewer and renderer.
Awesome stuff! I did something similar for my master thesis using C++, Vulkan's Ray tracing extension, and Optix for denoising called Lift. It would be very cool if you could show a comparison between cuda and vulkan.

Implementing GI in a custom game engine
NVidia's RTXGI is on github and only requires a raytracing capable GPU for the precomputation stages. You can load baked volumes and read/sample them on a GPU without raytracing, unsure of how far back that goes in hardware support - but it's not going to fly for mobile, sampling is really heavy in both ALU and TEX.
What are some alternatives?
