Finally got around to moving the atmospheric shadow loop in Avoyd's GPU path tracer to a wavefront approach like the rest of the code instead of a loop. I was mainly doing this to improve the insane shader compilation times, but it also improves hardware utilization. Measuring compilation perf is tricky as the driver caches pipelines, but I've measured a consistent 2x render perf increase on top of a recent 3x perf increase.
