To achieve high efficiency with ray tracing, you must build a pipeline that scales well at every stage. To achieve high efficiency with ray tracing, you must build a pipeline that scales well at every stage. For ray tracing, visibility can be estimated directly based on the number of rays hitting each object.

Another essential tool, the Shader Graph heatmap, provides a visual estimate of the cost associated with different Shader Graph nodes. Developers can leverage this feedback to make informed decisions when optimizing shader programs. Another important consideration is transparency.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. Or a shader can perform atomic additions on half-precision floating-point numbers in global memory.
