network natively on HIP with Vulkan->HIP shared memory, extend K kernels to
gfx11 (RDNA3), and add dependency/packaging/test tooling around them.
Windows: FSR RR backend, native HIP K runner, gfx11 K kernels, tooling
FSR Ray Regeneration (experimental)
- Add fsr_rr_backend.{h,cpp}, fsr_rr_passes.h and the fsr_rr/ prepare and
compose compute shaders. They run AMD's FidelityFX denoiser
(amd_fidelityfx_denoiser_dx12.dll, SDK 2.3, not bundled) on a private
vkd3d-proton device.
- Add the amdxc64 shim (tools/windows/amdxc64_shim) and two vkd3d-proton
patches for libcxx includes. AMD's amdxc64.dll is never loaded.
- d4r_nvngx_windows: RrFeature now selects between the native DLSS RR
backend and the FSR backend (D4R_RR_BACKEND=fsr). After the denoiser it
runs an internal Super Sampling stage (feature 1) to upscale. If SR is
unavailable and output != render size, the frame fails; it is never
returned noisy.
- d4r.ini / player_config: new [RayReconstruction] FsrDenoiser,
FsrStabilityBias (auto or >= 0) and FsrDetail (0-1), with validation, and
matching D4R_FSR_* environment variables.
- Add the FSR RR fixture, output-check and ngx test scripts, and a shader
compile script.
Native HIP K runner (Windows)
- CMake: add d4r_engine_k_hip (d4r-k-hip) plus separate volk/engine copies,
because VK_USE_PLATFORM_WIN32_KHR changes volk's entry points.
- Share Vulkan memory with HIP via Win32 opaque handles on Windows
(VK_KHR_external_memory_win32) and via fds on Linux. Handle types are now
intptr_t, and the platform choice is in D4R_EXT_MEMORY_* macros.
- HipNetwork: add debugRepeatHashes and debugNodeMicros, exposed as
D4R_HIP_REPEAT_CHECK, D4R_HIP_REPEAT_ALL and D4R_HIP_NODE_PROFILE in
replay.cpp.
- replay.cpp: display-resolution-motion frames (FrameFlagDisplayMotion) no
longer require near2rnd == out2rnd. Both values must still be in (0, 1].
K kernels on gfx11
- Allow position-token and enc1 tiling on __GFX11__ as well as gfx12.
- Add an opt-in ds_bpermute cross-half exchange
(D4R_WINDOWS_GFX11_DS_EXCHANGE, enabled for K on Windows gfx11). M keeps
its LDS path.
- Fix a block-barrier race in the position layer. Without POS_VSHARE a fast
wave could overwrite its hb rows while a slower wave still read them for a
later head, giving rare wrong results on gfx1101 (enc0 outputs differing
between identical launches).
Packaging and install
- install.bat, d4r.ini, WINDOWS_README: FSR option, and
install_dependencies.py to install pinned NVIDIA dependencies with staged,
hash-verified replacement and rollback.
- Update the release package, local package refresh and test scripts.
- Add the InteropBatchInputCopies option (default false). Batching is faster
on some synthetic runs, but player temporal exactness is unresolved.
Tooling and tests
- K model: capture_k_weights, build_k_model, compare_k_outputs,
benchmark_k_hip, build_capture_runtime, test_k_model and the
zluda-k-output-capture patch. Captured weights and models are private
local assets and must not enter release archives.
- Synthetic probes: test_m_ngx, test_sr_dynamic,
prepare_rr_dynamic_fixture and the d3d12/rr_ngx probe updates.
- Add tests/windows/test_install_dependencies.py.
Docs
- Update the windows-fsr-rr, k-performance, local-package, rr-interop and
rr-model-cache docs. Add windows-parity-handoff.md and
windows-parity-continuation-prompt.md.
Implement native NGX feature-13 RR through a LUID-matched D3D12/Vulkan
shared-memory and timeline-fence bridge. Add owned parameter snapshots,
GPU resource lifetime handling, inherited/enhanced barriers, optional
guides, sampled input formats and depth-plane support with stencil
preservation. Separate RR initialization from the SR CUDA runtime and
expose explicit backend/model selection through player configuration.
Add synthetic bridge, snapshot and NGX lifecycle harnesses covering
camera/history/reset, parameter mutation, delayed submission, early
release, capability gating and unsupported-input rejection.
Add exact gfx11 D/E model generation, verified caches, versioned local
deployment with configuration backups, and isolated portable model
tools with pinned Python, NumPy and glslang dependencies.
Extend Windows K benchmarking and private native-cache selection.
Fix LLVM 22 emitter/helper compatibility and preserve exact-output
validation for local output-kernel optimization.
Add native FSR RR provider diagnostics, local development package
refresh tooling, installer/checker updates, FidelityFX headers and
Windows parity documentation.
Keep NVIDIA binaries, derived models and private optimized kernels out
of distributable packages. Native RR evidence remains synthetic;
game validation, FSR RR dispatch, installer integration and Linux
performance parity remain incomplete.
Add native K/M/RR inference engines, HIP kernels, replay and validation
harnesses, and Windows DLSS setup and runtime support. Include GPU
profiling tools, build and packaging scripts, platform integration
patches, and implementation documentation.
- Add default-off PreferAccuracy for all native kernel families,
including RDNA4 FP8 variants.
- Restore intermediate FP8 quantization, per-MMA FP16 rounding,
denormal handling and NGX synchronization in accuracy mode.
- Select separately marked accuracy kernels and use a separate JIT
cache; reject mixed sets and never silently substitute fast kernels.
- Add a pinned GLIBC 2.41 build environment for ZLUDA/LLVM, the DLLs
and both kernel sets, with ABI checks and toolchain provenance.
- Support parallel target builds and pre-extracted PTX; correct
ROCm header paths and Clang-CL input handling.
- Bump to 0.1.3 and update release notes, documentation and tests.
Validation: 11 tests passed; all 912 kernels built; E/K/M GPU harness
runs completed with accuracy off/on. Packaged libraries loaded under
GLIBC 2.41 and require no GLIBC version newer than 2.38.
RTX image-quality parity remains unverified.
