The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

AMDVLK Release v-2023.Q2.2
on raw tests AMDVLK is about 100% faster than RADV like this one

RADV RayTracing on RDNA 2 doesn't work
This Vulkan RayTracing Test also only runs with AMDVLK

Anyone having better luck with the Intel Arc A750/770? It seems only Vulkan games are working well.
I did some more testing in regards to raytracing on Linux/Vulkan and could get this benchmark to run (albeit horribly slow) with the Arc 750

Doom Eternal : Ray traycing on RX5600XT
Oh sorry. That's nice! The only RT stuff that worked nicely for me (except FPS, offcourse) was this: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan

Vulkan not enabled for my graphics card, can anyone help?
Have you tried testing it? Here is a benchmark someone created.

Vulkan Ray Tracing: Blocky edges when there is another object behind
Reminds me of this bug caused by missing "non-uniform" hints: https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/36

[Hardware Unboxed] Don't Buy GeForce? Are We Testing GPUs Wrong? Nvidia Driver Overhead Discussion
With xbox and PS5 using AMDs ray tracing architecture, it would be dumb for devs to not optimize for AMD. 22% improvement with basically a code line swap. https://github.com/GPSnoopy/RayTracingInVulkan/issues/28#issuecomment-792966138
