It dynamically schedules concurrent operations on 8 or 16 data points in a single CPU instruction depending on available CPU capabilities. These vectorized OSL capabilities are available in RenderMan today, and the source code is available upon request while the collaborators work to contribute it to the open source OSL project. This new OSL implementation shipping in RenderMan 22.5 includes parallel execution of the entire shading network on Intel’s SIMD hardware. Senior developers at Intel, Pixar, and Sony Pictures Imageworks collaborated on this important project. Previous experimental work on this capability has been significantly updated for production use at Pixar and is now enabled by default. RenderMan now provides fully enabled SIMD hardware acceleration of CPU intensive OSL operations. Pixar and Intel collaborated to bring hardware acceleration of OSL to RenderMan version 22.5.

Starting with USD 19.07 (a June release) we will provide the RenderMan Hydra Delegate that will work with RenderMan 22.5. RenderMan USD Support – Near Term (June): RenderMan and USD are the backbone of Pixar’s production pipeline and RenderMan Development is working closely with Pixar’s USD team to make USD a first class citizen within RenderMan. Universal Scene Description (USD) is Pixar’s open source file format & API for describing CG scenes & data in a ‘composed’ manner to facilitate concurrent workflows across multiple applications & artists. – Chris Rydalch, Production Technology Technical Director, Blue Sky Studios Pixar’s USD The integration is tight, it makes it easier than ever for our Houdini artists to work in Renderman! We’re all very excited to see the Houdini/RenderMan workflow get better and better!” *Houdini Indie support to be available with an upcoming future 17.5.229 release.
