It's best practice for Rust crate docs to start with at least one research paper citation, which must be read before continuing.

Screenshot of rustdoc output for a crate named fidget_wgpu, which reads

This module implements an algorithm similar to the one described in Massively Parallel Rendering of Complex Closed-Form Implicit Surfaces (Keeter ’20). The rest of this section is intended for people who have read that paper (“MPR” for short).

We use interval arithmetic on a high-fanout hierarchy of tiles (64³, 16³, 4³), followed by voxel and normal evaluation. At each stage of interval arithmetic, we compute a simplified tape for each tile containing only portions of the expression which are active.

After the root tile evaluation, tiles are sparse. Tiles and tapes use an atomic bump allocator to claim portions of a fixed buffer. The tile buffer is always sized to fit all possible tiles; the tape buffer can run out of space, in which case we fall back to the previous (unsimplified) tape.

There are a few notable changes compared to the MPR paper and reference implementation.

First, modern GPU APIs support indirect dispatch based on buffers on the GPU itself. This saves a round-trip: the 64³ shader can compute a dispatch size for the 16³ shader and store it in a buffer (and so on for subsequent stages).

In a more significant change, evaluation is broken into strata:

The initial pass of 64³ tiles renders all of those tiles, any which are active are accumulated into a set of depth / 64 strata
Strata are evaluated one at a time in z-sorted order; this is where 16³, 4³, voxel, and normal evaluation happens. You can think of this as doing raymarching on 64³ voxels at a time.

Strata-sorted evaluation has a few advantages:

We can statically allocate enough space for all tiles: all 64³ in the image, then all 16³ and 4³ tiles in a single strata. It would be prohibitive to allocate storage for all 4³ tiles in the entire volume, but doing per-strata evaluation reduces the memory scaling from N³ to N².
