Viacheslav Gonakhchian developed targeted diagnostic and utility features for the intel/gits repository, focusing on the DirectX capture and playback pipeline. He built a plugin to compare Raytracing Acceleration Structure (RTAS) sizes between capture and playback, using C++ and CMake to align checks with the correct data streams and surface potential BLAS overlap issues early. In addition, he implemented and later removed UTF-8/UTF-16 string conversion utilities and memory formatting helpers for DirectX 12 plugins, streamlining the build system and reducing maintenance risk. His work demonstrated depth in low-level programming, plugin development, and code refactoring to improve stability and reliability.

August 2025 – Intel/gits: Delivered and subsequently refined Unicode and memory formatting utilities for DirectX plugins, with CMake-based build integration for the DX12 path. Implemented UTF-8/UTF-16 conversions and a human-readable memory size formatter, including new utfConversion source/header files and integration into the build system. In parallel, removed utfConversion utilities and their CMake references as the functionality was no longer needed or has been replaced, reducing maintenance burden and potential build issues. Overall, the work improved DirectX 12 plugin reliability, cleaned up the codebase, and hardened the build configuration.

In July 2025, shipped a targeted diagnostic feature for the Intel GITS DirectX path to improve stability and observability in the capture/playback pipeline. Delivered the RTAS Size Mismatch Diagnostics: a new RtasSizeCheck plugin that compares capture vs playback RTAS (BVH) sizes and logs a warning when playback size exceeds capture size, addressing potential BLAS overlap. The implementation refines checks by using capture-time prebuild information for pre-phase and playback-time data for post-phase, ensuring alignment with the correct data streams. This work enhances debugging, reduces risk of runtime artifacts, and improves data fidelity across rendering captures.
