2017-05-03	Cycles: Split kernel - sort shaders	Hristo Gueorguiev
	Reduce thread divergence in kernel_shader_eval. Rays are sorted in blocks of 2048 according to shader->id. On R9 290 Classroom is ~30% faster, and Pabellon Barcelone is ~8% faster. No sorting for CUDA split kernel. Reviewers: sergey, maiself Reviewed By: maiself Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2598
2017-05-02	Cycles: Branched path tracing for the split kernel	Mai Lavelle
	This implements branched path tracing for the split kernel. General approach is to store the ray state at a branch point, trace the branched ray as normal, then restore the state as necessary before iterating to the next part of the path. A state machine is used to advance the indirect loop state, which avoids the need to add any new kernels. Each iteration the state machine recreates as much state as possible from the stored ray to keep overall storage down. Its kind of hard to keep all the different integration loops in sync, so this needs lots of testing to make sure everything is working correctly. We should probably start trying to deduplicate the integration loops more now. Nonbranched BMW is ~2% slower, while classroom is ~2% faster, other scenes could use more testing still.

2017-04-25	Workaround for AMD GPU OpenCL compiler.	Hristo Gueorguiev

2017-03-16	Cycles: Define ccl_local variables in kernel functions	Sergey Sharybin
	Declaring ccl_local in a device function is not supported by certain compilers.
2017-03-09	Cycles: split kernel_shadow_blocked to AO & DL parts	Hristo Gueorguiev
	Reduces memory allocation for split kernel. This allows for faster rendering due to bigger global size, specially when GPU memory is limited. Perfromance results: R9 290 total render time Before After Change BMW 4:37 4:34 -1.1 % Classroom 14:43 14:30 -1.5 % Fishy Cat 11:20 11:04 -2.4 % Koro 12:11 12:04 -1.0 % Pabellon Barcelona 22:01 20:44 -5.8 % Pabellon Barcelona() 15:32 15:09 -2.5 % () without glossy connected to volume
2017-03-09	Cycles: SSS and Volume rendering in split kernel	Hristo Gueorguiev
	Decoupled ray marching is not supported yet. Transparent shadows are always enabled for volume rendering. Changes in kernel/bvh and kernel/geom are from Sergey. This simiplifies code significantly, and prepares it for record-all transparent shadow function in split kernel.
