Which Download Should I Pick?

These binaries are built with Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) for maximum ray-tracing performance. They are provided in three CPU vectorization tiers: AVX-512, AVX2, and Scalar.

If an executable is built for an instruction set your processor does not support, it will crash immediately on launch (with an Illegal Instruction error or crash code 0xc000001d).

👉 Recommended Order to Try:

  1. Start with AVX-512 (Fastest — Try this first!)

    • Delivers the highest ray-tracing throughput. Supported on AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series (Zen 4 / Zen 5) and supported Intel CPUs (11th Gen, Xeon, Skylake-X).
    • If it launches, keep using it! You get the maximum possible performance.
    • If it crashes immediately on launch (with an Illegal Instruction error or code 0xc000001d), your CPU does not support AVX-512 — simply step down to AVX2.

  2. Step down to AVX2 (Broad compatibility)

    • Works on virtually any PC manufactured in the last decade (Intel 4th Gen Haswell 2013+ / AMD Ryzen 2017+).
    • Delivers excellent vectorized ray-tracing speed. If AVX-512 didn't work for you, this is the version to use.

  3. Fall back to scalar (Universal compatibility)

    • Use this only if the avx2 build also refuses to start.
    • Runs on any 64-bit x86 processor (older legacy hardware, virtual machines without AVX passthrough, or low-power chips), but trades away SIMD vectorization speed.

GPU vs. CPU Builds

  • *-gpu (Recommended): Uses your dedicated or integrated GPU via WGPU (Vulkan / DirectX 12 / Metal) for hardware-accelerated spectral compute. Automatically falls back to multi-threaded CPU if needed.
  • *-cpu: Pure multi-threaded CPU tracer without graphics compute dependencies. Ideal for headless servers or systems without a compatible GPU driver.

Binaries in this Release:

  • indicatrix-cut: The desktop 3D faceting studio & cutting schedule editor (Slint GUI).
  • indicatrix-worker: The headless CLI renderer and remote mTLS compute daemon.
