Synopsis
One of the biggest developments in computer hardware in the last few years has been the introduction of and rapid improvement in a new generation of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) with much more power and flexibility than the CPU. With the arrival of the new hardware that supports Windows Vista's graphics, there is renewed interest in rendering GPU Gem 3 continues the format of the first two bestselling editions, with many chapters that detail cutting-edge programming techniques from some of the world's top experts, including people at Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, SEGA, Cornell, UC Davis, and UNC. Chapters in this book explain techniques in rendering that go beyond anything used yet in movies or games., "The GPU Gems series features a collection of the most essential algorithms required by Next-Generation 3D Engines." "--Martin Mittring, Lead Graphics Programmer, Crytek"This third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series provides a snapshot of today's latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation, financial analysis, and even virus detection--particularly with the CUDA architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters, better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects.
