How to get in touch

We listen to feedback as much as possible, so keep raising issues here on GitHub if you have any feature requests or think you may have found a bug.

While you can still get in touch with us via your AMD representative, @GPUOpen on Twitter or @[email protected] we have added an additional, more direct channel of feedback. By using this invitation link, you can join our Discord server and chat with the RPS team directly. We are happy to receive any feedback and may adjust our prioritization according to frequently requested features.

AMD Render Pipeline Shaders SDK Open Beta

About the RPS SDK Open Beta

The Render Pipeline Shaders (RPS) SDK is a comprehensive and extensible Render Graph framework for graphics applications and engines using explicit APIs.

The RPS SDK intends to make Render Graphs more easily accessible and to provide a generally optimal barrier generator and (aliasing) memory scheduler. It has a compiler-like architecture, including a frontend used to specify resources and a node sequence, a runtime compiler which compiles the linear node sequence into a graph and schedules it, and a runtime backend that converts the scheduled render graph into graphics API commands.

This open beta release supports DirectX® 12 and Vulkan®, and we encourage developers to try and give us feedback, so we can polish the SDK before a production release.

Support

To get support during this open beta, please get in touch with your AMD representative, or send a DM to @GPUOpen on Twitter or @[email protected]. We might not be able to get back to you on Twitter or Mastodon during the open beta period, but your feedback is still very valuable, and we will read and try to respond to everyone.
