AMD's Advanced Rendering Research Group just posted four(!!) HPG 2024 paper preprints on their publications page. At HPG this year they have papers on:

2. A fast clustered BVH builder
3. A lossless geometry compression format
4. A real-time procedural generation method using work graphs.

Cool stuff!
