Thanks JoseEmilio-ARM for ARM part.

Hi, I have listed a number of resources from Arm that fit well with the current list and that could prove useful for GPU optimizations, see https://gist.github.com/JoseEmilio-ARM/0097365aca60abdde7aba5d79414d195/revisions Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. Do you mind if I update those here?

Please do, thank you :)

It would be nice to convert all these amazing resources to archive.is snapshots. Blogs tend to go offline quite often.

Thanks for the list 👍

Great list, worth adding https://godbolt.org/ as well, it now support DXC/HLSL compiling, very useful for visualising Shader ISA.

Highly recommend adding renderDoc[https://renderdoc.org/] and APITrace[https://apitrace.github.io/] to the "tools" section of this document. RenderDoc is a more traditional GPU debugger (capture a frame, read back), APITrace is more of a API call tracer and playback tool on GPU (I would also suggest to add VKtrace but it's an archived tool and kinda-of meh sometimes)

(Very lovely list though, quite fun reads listed here!)

Thanks! Updated. I've never used APITrace, but am a RenderDoc heavy user, mostly as debugger though. But optimization is kind of prone to bug when think about it : )

Thank you for the list! Maybe A Gentle Introduction to ReSTIR could fit here?

I think it is a really good introduction for ReSTIR, but I'd like to keep this list focused on more general optimization topics related to GPU.
