Sooo, I want to sample mipmaps in a compute shader via "sampleGrad".

Does anyone know what the state-of-the-art is for deriving ddx and ddy for uv-coords in a compute shader?

I don't want to store the UV's derivatives in a G-buffer if possible.

We are very excited for next week's Shading Language Symposium in San Diego!

This event will bring together graphics and computer shader programmers, researchers and technical artists with shading language implementers to explore the landscape of shading languages, their future development, and the role how new techniques such as neural graphics will play in shaping the future of real-time rendering.
