I’ve been experimenting with Rust lately and wanted a project that would help me explore some of its lower-level and performance-oriented features. Inspired by Sebastian Lague’s videos, I decided to implement my own ray tracer from scratch. The initial goal was just to render a simple 3D scene in the browser at a reasonable frame rate. It evolved into a small renderer that can: • Run locally or on the web using wgpu and WebAssembly • Perform mesh rendering with a Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) for acceleration • Simulate both direct and indirect illumination for photorealistic results • Be…

This is a GPU "software" raytracer (i.e. using manual ray-scene intersections and not RTX) written using the WebGPU API that renders glTF scenes. It supports many materials, textures, material & normal mapping, and heavily relies on multiple importance sampling to speed up convergence.

Creator here. I built ChartGPU because I kept hitting the same wall: charting libraries that claim to be "fast" but choke past 100K data points. The core insight: Canvas2D is fundamentally CPU-bound. Even WebGL chart libraries still do most computation on the CPU. So I moved everything to the GPU via WebGPU: - LTTB downsampling runs as a compute shader - Hit-testing for tooltips/hover is GPU-accelerated - Rendering uses instanced draws (one draw call per series) The result: 1M points at 60fps with smooth zoom/pan. Live demo:…

Back in the old days, people used to do general-purpose GPU programming by using shaders like GLSL. This is what inspired NVIDIA (and other companies) to eventually create CUDA (and friends). This is an implementation of GPT-2 using WebGL and shaders. Enjoy!

The standard GPU utilization metric reported by nvidia-smi, nvtop, Weights & Biases, Amazon CloudWatch, Google Cloud Monitoring, and Azure Monitor is highly misleading. It reports the fraction of time that any kernel is running on the GPU, which means a GPU can report 100% utilization even if only a small portion of its compute capacity is actually being used. In practice, we've seen workloads with ~1–10% real compute throughput while dashboards show 100%. This becomes a problem when teams rely on that metric for capacity planning or optimization decisions, it can make underutilized systems…

We ported pbrt-v4 to Julia and built it into a Makie backend. Any Makie plot can now be rendered with physically-based path tracing. Julia compiles user-defined physics directly into GPU kernels, so anyone can extend the ray tracer with new materials and media - a black hole with gravitational lensing is ~200 lines of Julia. Runs on AMD, NVIDIA, and CPU via KernelAbstractions.jl, with Metal coming soon. Demo scenes: github.com/SimonDanisch/RayDemo

Hi HN, we are Ed, Zach, and Ronald, creators of Shadeform (https://www.shadeform.ai/), a GPU marketplace to see live availability and prices across the GPU market, as well as to deploy and reserve on-demand instances. We have aggregated 8+ GPU providers into a single platform and API, so you can easily provision instances like A100s and H100s where they are available. From our experience working at AWS and Azure, we believe that cloud could evolve from all-encompassing hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) to specialized clouds for high-performance use cases. After the launch of…

I built a free tool called Volume Shader BM. It’s a real-time graphics GPU performance benchmark that runs entirely in the browser — no installs, no drivers. It uses shader-based ray marching (Mandelbulb scenes) to measure FPS, frame time, and stability across GPUs. You can tweak iterations, step size, resolution, and share reproducible results.

I run a small project called best-gpu.com, a site that ranks GPUs by price-to-performance. While browsing PC building forums and Reddit, I kept seeing the same question: “What should I upgrade to from my current GPU?” Most answers are just lists of cards without showing the actual performance gain, so people often end up paying for upgrades that barely improve performance. So I built a small tool: a GPU Upgrade Calculator. You enter your current GPU and it shows: estimated performance gain a value score based on price vs performance a filtered list of upgrade options (brand, price, VRAM,…

Hi HN, I built PantheonGPU because I wanted a better way to answer a simple question: is this GPU actually healthy and performing the way it should? A GPU can show normal temperatures and utilization and still be underperforming, unstable under certain workloads, or have memory, PCIe, or configuration issues. PantheonGPU actively tests the GPU instead of only monitoring telemetry. It currently includes 45+ tests covering compute, tensor workloads, memory, cache, PCIe, thermals, stability, and AI/LLM inference. It supports both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm. I’m also exploring a larger use…
