Using Graphics Hardware 17.2 Describing Geometry for the Hardware

چکیده
Throughout most of this book, the focus has been on the fundamentals underlying computer graphics rather than on implementation details. This chapter takes a slightly different route and blends the details of using graphics hardware with the practical issues associated with programming that hardware. This chapter, however, is not written to teach you OpenGL,TMother graphics APIs, or even the nitty gritty specifics of graphics hardware programming. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the basic concepts and thought processes that are necessary when writing programs that use graphics hardware.

Investigating the Effects of Hardware Parameters on Power Consumptions in SPMV Algorithms on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
Although Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMVs) algorithms are simple, they include important parts of Linear Algebra algorithms in Mathematics and Physics areas. As these algorithms can be run in parallel, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been considered as one of the best candidates to run these algorithms. In the recent years, power consumption has been considered as one of the metr...

متن کاملHardware Accelerated Soft Shadows using Penumbra Quads
Shadow mapping is a commonly used technique for generating hard shadows in real time. However, existing shadow map based algorithms cannot render full soft shadows penumbras onto arbitrary dynamic geometry by utilizing only consumer level programmable graphics hardware. In this paper we introduce a new fully hardware accelerated penumbra map algorithm which stores additional penumbra informatio...
متن کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
