DirectX: künftig SPIR-V statt DXIL

[xpad.c]

Die Hölle beginnt, zuzufrieren.

Gestern hat Microsoft angekündigt, für die künftige Weiterentwicklung von DirectX auf ihr proprietäres IR-Format verzichten, und stattdessen auf das offene Ökosystem um Vulkan und dessen SPIR-V setzen zu wollen.

The Road to Replacing DXIL

As we look to the future, maintaining a proprietary IR format (even one based on an open-source project) is counter to our commitments to open technologies, so Shader Model 7.0 will adopt SPIR-V as its interchange format. Over the next few years, we will be working to define a SPIR-V environment for Direct3D, and a set of SPIR-V extensions to support all of Direct3D’s current and future shader programming features through SPIR-V. This will allow developers to take better advantage of existing tools and unify the ecosystem around investing in one IR.

In addition to providing a compiler for HLSL to Direct3D’s SPIR-V, we will also be building and providing translation tools to translate SPIR-V to DXIL and DXIL to SPIR-V. Those tools will allow and driver developers to gradually transition and gracefully adapt tooling and drivers.

Mark because interesting!

Gute Nachrichten. Ich hoffe Nvidia und andere erreichen dann ebenfalls die gleiche oder bessere Effizienz / Optimierung für rasterrized basierte Shader.
