  • Real-Time Rendering Techniques with Hardware Tessellation
    Volume 34 (2015), Number x pp. 0–24 COMPUTER GRAPHICS forum Real-time Rendering Techniques with Hardware Tessellation M. Nießner1 and B. Keinert2 and M. Fisher1 and M. Stamminger2 and C. Loop3 and H. Schäfer2 1Stanford University 2University of Erlangen-Nuremberg 3Microsoft Research Abstract Graphics hardware has been progressively optimized to render more triangles with increasingly flexible shading. For highly detailed geometry, interactive applications restricted themselves to performing transforms on fixed geometry, since they could not incur the cost required to generate and transfer smooth or displaced geometry to the GPU at render time. As a result of recent advances in graphics hardware, in particular the GPU tessellation unit, complex geometry can now be generated on-the-fly within the GPU’s rendering pipeline. This has enabled the generation and displacement of smooth parametric surfaces in real-time applications. However, many well- established approaches in offline rendering are not directly transferable due to the limited tessellation patterns or the parallel execution model of the tessellation stage. In this survey, we provide an overview of recent work and challenges in this topic by summarizing, discussing, and comparing methods for the rendering of smooth and highly-detailed surfaces in real-time. 1. Introduction Hardware tessellation has attained widespread use in computer games for displaying highly-detailed, possibly an- Graphics hardware originated with the goal of efficiently imated, objects.

Tarolli Interviewed by: Shayne Hodge Recorded: July 29, 2013 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6887.2013 © 2013 Computer History Museum 3dfx Oral History Panel Shayne Hodge: OK. My name is Shayne Hodge. This is July 29, 2013 at the afternoon in the Computer History Museum. We have with us today the founders of 3dfx, a graphics company from the 1990s of considerable influence. From left to right on the camera-- I'll let you guys introduce yourselves. Gary Tarolli: I'm Gary Tarolli. Scott Sellers: I'm Scott Sellers. Ross Smith: Ross Smith. Gordon Campbell: And Gordon Campbell. Hodge: And so why don't each of you take about a minute or two and describe your lives roughly up to the point where you need to say 3dfx to continue describing them. Tarolli: All right. Where do you want us to start? Hodge: Birth. Tarolli: Birth. Oh, born in New York, grew up in rural New York. Had a pretty uneventful childhood, but excelled at math and science. So I went to school for math at RPI [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute] in Troy, New York. And there is where I met my first computer, a good old IBM mainframe that we were just talking about before [this taping], with punch cards. So I wrote my first computer program there and sort of fell in love with computer. So I became a computer scientist really. So I took all their computer science courses, went on to Caltech for VLSI engineering, which is where I met some people that influenced my career life afterwards.

  • CPU-GPU Hybrid Real Time Ray Tracing Framework
    Volume 0 (1981), Number 0 pp. 1–8 CPU-GPU Hybrid Real Time Ray Tracing Framework S.Beck , A.-C. Bernstein , D. Danch and B. Fröhlich Lehrstuhl für Systeme der Virtuellen Realität, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany Abstract We present a new method in rendering complex 3D scenes at reasonable frame-rates targeting on Global Illumi- nation as provided by a Ray Tracing algorithm. Our approach is based on some new ideas on how to combine a CPU-based fast Ray Tracing algorithm with the capabilities of todays programmable GPUs and its powerful feed-forward-rendering algorithm. We call this approach CPU-GPU Hybrid Real Time Ray Tracing Framework. As we will show, a systematic analysis of the generations of rays of a Ray Tracer leads to different render-passes which map either to the GPU or to the CPU. Indeed all camera rays can be processed on the graphics card, and hardware accelerated shadow mapping can be used as a pre-step in calculating precise shadow boundaries within a Ray Tracer. Our arrangement of the resulting five specialized render-passes combines a fast Ray Tracer located on a multi-processing CPU with the capabilites of a modern graphics card in a new way and might be a starting point for further research. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]: Ray Tracing, Global Illumination, OpenGL, Hybrid CPU GPU 1. Introduction Ray Tracer can compute every pixel of an image separately Within the last years prospects in computer-graphics are in parallel which is done in clusters and render-farms and growing and the aim of high-quality rendering and natural- shortens render time.
