  • Boosting Graphics-Rendering Performance in Windows Forms
    Boosting graphics-rendering performance in Windows Forms Christopher Ireland Steema Software September 2010 Abstract The performance of GDI+ in graphics-intensive Windows Forms applications can greatly reduce their responsiveness. Here I demonstrate that the use of Direct2D via SlimDX can substantially reduce some of these bottlenecks. Keywords: Windows Forms, performance, GDI+, Direct2D, SlimDX, TeeChart Introduction If you find that the graphics-rendering performance of Windows Forms is a problem for you, a newly available graphics API may be the solution you are looking for. While WPF is presented as a higher-performance alternative for.NET developers willing to re-design their existing applications, there is a technology gap for those with large codebases based on Windows Forms. Microsoft’s Direct2D is a hardware-accelerated, immediate-mode 2-D graphics API that provides high performance and high quality rendering for 2-D geometry, bitmaps, and text. SlimDX is a free open source framework designed to be an efficient, simple, and lean wrapper that exposes Direct2D to managed code. Together, this new graphics API can lever your existing Windows Forms code to create applications that render faster than either GDI+ or even WPF. Graphics performance in Windows Forms The clearest way to see the effects of different graphics API on performance is by the use of a sample application. Such an example can be downloaded here. To run this example you will need to install SlimDX and be working on a Direct2D compatible operating system (Windows Vista,

  • High-Performance Graphics with Directx in Racket∗
    Information Engineering Express International Institute of Applied Informatics 2019, Vol. 5, No. 2, 83 - 98 High-Performance Graphics with DirectX in Racket∗ Antoine Bossard † Abstract Parallel processing is ubiquitous with modern computer systems. It has been supported by two major hardware advances: on the one hand, computer CPUs nowadays include several processing cores – even mobile device CPUs. On the other hand, the adoption of parallel processing has been bolstered in recent years thanks to the parallel processing capacities of graphics processing units (GPUs). General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) is one example of the versatile capacity of GPUs. Relying on the Microsoft DirectX 12 framework, we propose in this paper a novel approach to enable parallel processing for graphical rendering on both the CPU and GPU for the functional programming language Racket (formerly PLT Scheme). Importantly, this is achieved without compromising the usability and programmer-friendliness of Racket. Significant improvements are observed from the performance evaluation experiments with respect to the execution time (×3 speed-up in some cases), the CPU utilisation time (reduced by as much as 80% in some scenarios) and the frame rate in the case of animated graphics. Keywords: GPU, parallel processing, functional, programming, Scheme, Windows, Win32 1 Introduction Recent advances in semiconductors have enabled the embedding of numerous processing cores into graphics processing units (GPUs), and the optimised structure of GPUs makes them suitable for parallel processing [2]. From a computer system standpoint, this leads to augmented parallel processing by concretely offloading tasks from the CPU to the graphics hardware. As of 2019, GPUs include thousands of processing cores (e.g.
