Cycles X: Align kernels of existing and new paths Only enqueue new kernels when the existing wavefront is at the intersect closest stage. This seems to positively affect on the coherency, gaining performance: ``` new cycles-x(1) megakernel(2) bmw27.blend 10.198 10.6995 10.4269 classroom.blend 16.7821 17.2352 16.6609 pabellon.blend 9.39898 9.65984 9.14966 monster.blend 10.5923 10.5799 12.0106 barbershop_interior.blend 11.777 11.8852 12.5769 junkshop.blend 16.085 16.2971 16.5213 pvt_flat.blend 16.5704 16.3189 17.4047 (1) cyclex-x branch hash ad81074fab1 (2) cyclex-x branch hash ef6ce4fa8ca (right before disabling megakernel) ``` While the pvt_flat (with adaptive sampling) is 1% slower, some other scenes has performance gained almost all the way back in comparison to the Cycles-X before megakernel removal. Note that coherency is a hypothesis. Performance gain might also be caused by less active paths array calculations. |
