[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.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

    Vulkan Path Tracer with Optix Denoiser integration (by GoncaloFDS)

  • 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.

  • hello_opengl

    My "Hello World" for OpenGL.

  • My hello opengl project if you're curious.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • CUDA.jl

    CUDA programming in Julia.

  • That's really cool! Have you looked at CUDA.jl for the Julia language? Maybe you could take some ideas from there. I am pretty sure it does the same thing you do here, and they support any arbitrary code with the limitations that you cannot allocate memory, I/O is disallowed, and badly-typed code(dynamic) will not compile.
