    How big are BVH structures in Ray Traced games, and why is the CPU load so high from it?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2021 10:36 PM PDT

    Recently Hardware Unboxed did another video on Nvidia's heavier driver overhead. On here people were commenting on how enabling RT uses even more CPU resources. When doing a small amount of research it seems it can be done on CPU or GPU, so how does it currently work on current hardware? Is the CPU doing that BVH work currently, and that's why the load is so high? People seem to claim it's the CPU. Why is this, and where is that data stored after it's computed currently? I would think it would incur a large latency penalty if it where to be done frequently and needed by the GPU, or is that not an issue?

    In a recent PCWorld interview with Scott Herkelman he claimed (at the 59:03 mark) that developers are looking into more ways to use AMD's Infinity Cache. Could he be hinting at storing the BVH structure in that, and would there actually be a point to that? Or would this likely be more related to AMD's upcoming "Super Resolution"? How big are these structures anyways? I found a pretty old paper that talks about memory optimizations for it, and I think AMD mentioned "Rapid Packed Math" being used in RT as well.

    "This is ideal for a wide range of computationally intensive applications including image/video processing, ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and game rendering."

    Is it possible to squeeze this into ~64MB cache? Is it pointless because that's not where the real bottleneck for AMD RT lies?

    It seem a bit demanding for developers to implement things in future games that target PC versions of RDNA2 only, since consoles and Nvidia don't seem to have infinity cache, but I don't know what else they could be talking about.

    For Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G, etc, how much processing is done by the CPU compared to the chipset?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2021 01:51 PM PDT

    When compiling the Linux driver for my USB Wi-Fi adapter, I saw a lot of source code file names referring to the inner workings of the protocol, like authentication, encryption, etc. Does this mean that a good amount of processing is being done by the CPU, and the adapter just controls the antenna? Or is most of the processing done by the chipset, and the CPU just opens a socket or DMA channel and listens for data similar to any other inter-process communication?

    Any good resources about the PCIe technology?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2021 04:43 AM PDT

    Hey!

    I'm an electrical engineering student at college, and I'll have to make a bigger project for my communication systems subject.

    I choose PCIe as my topic, and the teacher said yes. So that's why I need some resources about the PCIe technology, mainly about it's operation.

    Do you guys know such resources?

    Thanks in advance!
