Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing is a comprehensive exploration of webgpu that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of ray-tracing is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

As a scholar in webgpu, I found Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to ray-tracing is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of webgpu, which offers a compelling framework for understanding webgpu. While some may argue that graphics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about webgpu.

While Foundations of Graphics & Compute: Volume 5: Ray-Tracing makes several valuable points about ray-tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ray-tracing seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ray-tracing. That said, the sections on graphics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in compute, this could be a truly outstanding work.
