Microsoft DirectX To Integrate Neural Rendering For AI-Focused Graphics, Cooperative Vectors Unlock Full Power of NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Tensor Core GPUs
Microsoft's DirectX API To Support Neural Rendering, Allowing Realtime Processing of Graphics With The Power Of AI, Unlocking Full Potential of NVIDIA's RTX 50 GPUs
Microsoft has now enabled the "highly-anticipated" neural rendering with its DirectX API, allowing GPUs to leverage AI capabilities to transform graphical computation.
Well, neural rendering in GPUs is the next big thing and is currently the industry's on the topic. We saw how NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang described the importance of neural rendering in learning and predicting elements of the rendering process, and it seems like the industry is finally transitioning into this idea.
In a blog post, Microsoft revealed that DirectX will now support neural rendering across different architectures, along with adding in "cooperative vector" support to DirectX, ultimately accelerating AI workloads across consumer and professional GPUs.
For those unaware, cooperative vector support refers to a method of GPUs to process data, by dynamically adjusting the processing of data in groups of varying sizes. This is done by optimizing matrix-vector operations, and through this, not only will the AI workload process be much faster, but the cooperative vector allows more efficient utilization of GPU resources for variable-sized data processing, allowing developers to leverage the feature for optimal neural rendering output.
Microsoft has also validated that DirectX neural rendering and cooperative vector implementation will be supported by NVIDIA's newest RTX 50 series GPUs, allowing the onboard Tensor Cores to enable neural shaders. This will allow developers to create AI-powered visualization, optimal path-tracing algorithms, and even generate realistic images and objects much more effectively, paving the way for more realistic and immersive graphics experiences.
Microsoft is working with partners such as AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm to integrate cooperative vector support into the DirectX ecosystem, allowing AI-accelerated graphical computation to flow much more seamlessly.
