GPU Gems 3

by Hubert Nguyen

GPU Gems 3A book that shows a cross-section of the latest graphics processing unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs not only allows developers to isolate the capabilities of the GPU, but it also extends this great computing power to non-graphical applications such as physics simulation, financial simulation, and even virus detection, along with the CUDA architecture in particular . Graphics will remain a major application for the GPU and you will be able to explore the latest algorithms in technology, such as surreal characters, advanced lighting, and post-rendering compositing.Art-level GPU programming examples , Which deals with the application of data parallelism in practice. The first four sections focus on graphics applications that use the GPU in the areas of geometry, lighting and shadowing, rendering, and image effects. Fifth and sixth sections extend the scope of GPU technology by providing concrete examples of non-graphical applications that can be processed with data parallel GPU technology. These applications range from rigid body simulation to fluid simulation, from virus symbol mapping to encryption and decryption, as well as from random number generation to Gaussian generation. In GPU Gems 3, Along with a video, and a disc containing the technical demonstrations described in this book. You can also find the latest updates and additional resources on the web page of this book.- -
