This reference lists the public declarations for this part of the library. See Reading API signatures for parameter and result notation. Shader-only declarations can be used only inside shader entry points and helpers reached from them; using them elsewhere is a compile error.

CustomDerivativeAttribute

Supplies a hand-written backward derivative for a @differentiable helper, replacing the automatic one. Use it when the automatic derivative is slow or numerically unstable. function names a inferred shader helper whose parameters are the original parameters as ref GpuDiffPair values, followed by the derivative of the result. It writes each parameter's derivative into its pair.
