Noticed when was looking into T93155. Steps to reproduce:
- Open the .blend file from the report
- Hit F12 to start rendering
- After some tiles were rendered hit Esc
The issue is caused by "sticky" cancel reported via Progress. This means
that once user hit Esc all further requests for cancel state will return
truth, which was preventing OIDN denoiser from completing the denoising
task.
Now only allow stopping the denoiser when interactive rendering requests
a very fast stopping.
Aiming the fix for 3.0 branch.

Fix performance decrease with Scrambling Distance on
|
|
With the current code in master, scrambling distance is enabled on non-hardware accelerated ray tracing devices see a measurable performance decrease when compared scrambling distance on vs off. From testing, this performance decrease comes from the large tile sizes scheduled in `tile.cpp`.
This patch attempts to address the performance decrease by using different algorithms to calculate the tile size for devices with hardware accelerated ray traversal and devices without. Large tile sizes for hardware accelerated devices and small tile sizes for others.
Most of this code is based on proposals from @brecht and @leesonw

The calculation based on preserving device occupancy was conflicting
with the fact that time limit needs to render less samples at the last
round of render work.
For example, rendering BMW27 for 30sec on i9-11900k was actually
rendering for almost a minute. Now the render time limit is respected
much more close.

Adds a method to profiler that can be used to check if it is active.
This is used to determine if stop_profiling and start_profiling
should be called.

The issue was caused by splitting happening twice.
Fixed by checking for split flag which is assigned to the both states
during split.
The tricky part was to write catcher data at the moment of split: the
transparency and shadow catcher sample count is to be accumulated at
that point. Now it is happening in the `intersect_closest` kernel.
The downside is that render buffer is to be passed to the kernel, but
the benefit is that extra split bounce check is not needed now.
Had to move the passes write to shadow catcher header, since include
of `film/passes.h` causes all the fun of requirement to have BSDF
data structures available.

This patch exposes the sampling offset option to Blender. It is located in the "Sampling > Advanced" panel.
For example, this can be useful to parallelize rendering and distribute different chunks of samples for each computer to render.
---
I also had to add this option to `RenderWork` and `RenderScheduler` classes so that the sample count in the status string can be calculated correctly.

Adds a bunch of CPU kernel function to process on row of pixels, and use those
instead of calling unoptimized implementations.

When reading pixels for virtual passes like diffuse, that sum diffuse direct
and indirect passes, we do not need them to exist with an offset in the render
buffer.

Instead of printing debug flags listing various CPU and GPU settings that
may or may not be used, print when we are using them. This include CPU

Cycles:Distance Scrambling for Cycles Sobol Sampler
This option implements micro jittering an is based on the INRIA
research paper [[ https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01325702/document | on micro jittering ]]
and work by Lukas Stockner for implementing the scrambling distance.
It works by controlling the correlation between pixels by either using
a user supplied value or an adaptive algorithm to limit the maximum
deviation of the sample values between pixels.

Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.

* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/

This replaces the old Ambient Occlusion settings in the world properties.

Panning in camera view makes the border to be modified, which was causing
the Cycles display to believe the rendered result is unusable.
The solution is to draw the render result at the display parameters it was
updated for. This allows to avoid flickering during panning, zooming, and
camera FOV changes. The suboptimal aspect of this is that it has some jelly
effect, although it is on the same level as jelly effect of object outline
so it is not terrible.

Similar to main path compaction that happens before adding work tiles, this
compacts shadow paths before launching kernels that may add shadow paths.
Only do it when more than 50% of space is wasted.
It's not a clear win in all scenes, some are up to 1.5% slower. Likely caused
by different order of scheduling kernels having an unpredictable performance
impact. Still feels like compaction is just the right thing to avoid cases
where a few shadow paths can hold up a lot of main paths.

Easy now thanks to the main and shadow path decoupling. Doesn't help
in an benchmark scene except Spring, where it reduces render time by
maybe 2-3%.

Taking advantage of the new decoupled main and shadow paths. For CPU we
just store two nested structs in the integrator state, one for direct light
shadows and one for AO. For the GPU we restrict the number of shade surface
states to be executed based on available space in the shadow paths queue.
This also helps improve performance in benchmark scenes with an AO pass,
since it is no longer needed to use the shader raytracing kernel there,
which has worse performance.

These transparent shadows can be expansive to evaluate. Especially on the
GPU they can lead to poor occupancy when only some pixels require many kernel
launches to trace and evaluate many layers of transparency.
Baked transparency allows tracing a single ray in many cases by accumulating
the throughput directly in the intersection program without recording hits
or evaluating shaders. Transparency is baked at curve vertices and
interpolated, for most shaders this will look practically the same as actual
shader evaluation.
Fixes T91428, performance regression with spring demo file due to transparent
hair, and makes it render significantly faster than Blender 2.93.

The motivation for this is twofold. It improves performance (5-10% on most
benchmark scenes), and will help to bring back transparency support for the
ambient occlusion pass.
* Duplicate some members from the main path state in the shadow path state.
* Add shadow paths incrementally to the array similar to what we do for
the shadow catchers.
* For the scheduling, allow running shade surface and shade volume kernels
as long as there is enough space in the shadow paths array. If not, execute
shadow kernels until it is empty.
* Add IntegratorShadowState and ConstIntegratorShadowState typedefs that
can be different between CPU and GPU. For GPU both main and shadow paths
juse have an integer for SoA access. Bt with CPU it's a different pointer
type so we get type safety checks in code shared between CPU and GPU.
* For CPU, add a separate IntegratorShadowStateCPU struct embedded in
IntegratorShadowState.
* Update various functions to take the shadow state, and make SVM take either
type of state using templates.

The thread affinity setting in OIDN can break multithreading on some CPUs.
While this leads to somewhat worse performance on CPUs that do work correctly,
it's better than having some CPUs use only half the cores.
|
|
This is only used by a single device, not need for thread safety.
|
|
* Rename struct KernelGlobals to struct KernelGlobalsCPU
* Add KernelGlobals, IntegratorState and ConstIntegratorState typedefs
that every device can define in its own way.
* Remove INTEGRATOR_STATE_ARGS and INTEGRATOR_STATE_PASS macros and
replace with these new typedefs.
* Add explicit state argument to INTEGRATOR_STATE and similar macros
In preparation for decoupling main and shadow paths.

The assumption about absent shadow path was wrong.
The rest of the changes are to ensure shadow paths are finished prior
to the split, so that they write to the proper passes.
The issue was caught by running regression tests on OptiX.
