Thanks to their unique physics-based approach, This talk shows how to speed up your pipeline with OPTIS light-simulation specialists provide real-time, the Xsens MVN animation tool. It also explains how predictive visualization solutions based on measured to record a motion, edit the motion, and insert it into physical properties of surfaces and materials. OPTIS a scene in no time, or even real-time, using the Xsens solutions are used by engineers, ergonomists, and MVN system. designers to optimize perceived quality and the visual ergonomics of HMIs. Patrick Runyon Xsense Technologies B.V. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Leveraging this capability requires optimum interoperability between Preview the Building Blocks of Human Computer compute (OpenCL) and graphics APIs (OpenGL/ Interaction DirectX). This talk demonstrates how to compute and update geometry with OpenCL on APUs, how to update VBO on discrete GPUs, and how to compute physics data on OpenCL and transfer those data to discrete GPUs. Benjamin Coquelle Senior Software Engineer AMD Professional Graphics
Autodesk Wednesday, 10 August, 12:45–1:45 pm Multi-Threaded 2D Renderer Design Rendering real-time high-quality 2D vector graphics through a 3D pipeline is a challenging task, requiring custom algorithms for shape tessellation, edge anti- aliasing and text rendering. For best performance, Scaleform 2D renderer includes optimizations such as multi-threaded rendering, mesh caching and draw-prim- itive batching. Following a high-level design description, this talk dives into multi-threaded rendering, introducing a novel render tree design that allows the both threads to access scene graph nodes simultaneously, greatly reducing copy overhead. The strategy described is particularly effective when only a subset of nodes is modified every frame and can be applied to any real-time rendering engine. www.siggraph.org/s2011 SIGGRAPH 2011 Advance Program PDF | Exhibitor Tech Talks 61 Table of Contents Updated 25 July exhibitor list
