News – AMD FSR 4 Redstone path tracing software uses ML2CODE framework to run on any GPU

ML2CODE
it doesn’t require AI or matrix math cores, just as Nvidia’s DLSS technology requires Tensor cores. It can run on conventional GPU shaders. “ML2CODE-based frameworks, such as FSR Redstone, can be seamlessly integrated directly into DirectX or Vulkan graphics pipelines with minimal latency. We believe that the ML2CODE solution is the best way, at least for now, to integrate and deploy 3D graphics and AI technologies.” Hall says.

However, Hall does foresee future AMD graphics architectures that will have dedicated AI cores that are compatible with Microsoft’s DirectX Cooperative Vector technology. “Cooperative Vector is a DirectX programming model. It’s a framework that provides a way for programmable shader units to perform calculations using other accelerators. In other words, it’s a framework that allows shader programs to utilize AI accelerators within the GPU. This is an excellent approach for implementing various AI styles.

“However, currently, significant delays can occur unless the GPU has an architecture specialized for DirectX Cooperative Vector technology. It’s true that we’re actively working on supporting Cooperative Vector,” Hall says.
