About

My name is Anton, I am a software engineer with over a decade of experience working on various computer graphics problems. I enjoy playing Apex legends in my free time and sometimes updating this blog. In the last couple of years I started exploring the realm of machine learning and its applications in graphics.

Work experience:

February 2021 - Now (100% Remote) AMD

• Leading an effort on denoising.
• Some internal tooling for testing/capture/replay/rapid prototyping/perf analysis.
• Leading development of GPUOpen code/samples(some of it shipped in a number of AAA games):
  • Hybrid Stochastic Reflections Sample
  • Reflections Denoiser
  • Brixelizer/GI
    • Presented by my colleague at GDC 2023
    • Presented by my colleague at GDC 2024

June 2020 - November 2020 (100% Remote) Unigine

• Engine development.
• Prototyped/Envisioned Visual programming(node based) system for material generation

May 2017 - May 2019 (Gdansk/Poland) Intel

• Worked briefly on CPU compilers(icc/Big endian) and runtime libraries(Embedded).
• Developed a gfx API capture/replay tool for experimentation on pass reordering, perf stat gathering and geometry manipulations.
• Prototyping graphics compiler features for game workloads.
• Game performance analysis on current/future platforms.
• Worked on Source-to-Source clang based transpilation tool for HPC.

Jan 2017 - May 2017 (Novosibirsk/Russia) Bricsys

• Direct modeling tools for BricsCAD. Focused on prototyping a tool to copy paste confined geometric features using topological dual representation.

Dec 2015 - Aug 2016 (Novosibirsk/Russia) АО «НТЦ ЕЭС»

• In-House math and vector graphics libraries.
• Working on my bachelor’s thesis on solving steady state electrical current configs for large power networks.

Toy projects:

• WebGPU MLP image compressor
  • Based off of Jakub Boksansky’s d3d12 one
• Software GPU simulator + Vulkan API(+JIT shader compiler for x86)
  • Implemented a subset of vulkan API as a virtual device, enough to take some SPIRV pixel/vertex shaders, PSO and rasterize a basic imgui sample and put on screen. Tiny compiler layer takes spirv and use llvm to make a wavefront, linearize CFG and compile to x86 for native execution on cpu.
• GPU simulator in Rust and web link
  • A toy GPU performance simulator with an imaginary ISA that can spit out basic wave traces based on a config.
• 3D Prototyping Graphics Framework
• 3D Prototyping Graphics Framework 2
• 3D Prototyping Graphics Framework 3
• Prototype for node based frame graph/shader editor and web link

OSS contributions:

• Adding a WASM i32x4(SIMD4) target to ISPC
• GPUOpen effects

Shader toys:

• Octahedral facet solid angle
• Run-length compressed models on GPU
• Minimal TAA(kinda wonky)
• Simple ripples

Education:

• 2016 BSc in physics at NSU (Novosibirsk/Russia)
