Yocto/GL: C++ Libraries for Data-Driven Physically-Based Graphics

Doesn't mention CUDA. Only Intel Embree or whatever. Seems like an odd choice.

Wish it had support for Nvidia because the API looks very powerful.

I mean the whole point is being small c++ libraries for rendering. CUDA sortof defeats the whole stated goal.

Also Embree isn't really comparable to CUDA, Embree is libraries for BVH generation and traversal, CUDA is a language and tools for GPU programming...

Forget I said CUDA then. The point is that it would be nice to run it on highly parallel hardware.

Oh I assumed that Embree was some new Intel graphics thing.

I consider that a pro, no reliance on big-tech proprietary stuff. +1 for the author not going that way
