  • Multithreaded Rendering for Cross-Platform 3D Visualization Based on Vulkan Api
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLIV-4/W1-2020, 2020 3rd BIM/GIS Integration Workshop and 15th 3D GeoInfo Conference, 7–11 September 2020, London, UK MULTITHREADED RENDERING FOR CROSS-PLATFORM 3D VISUALIZATION BASED ON VULKAN API C. Ioannidis, A.-M. Boutsi* Laboratory of Photogrammetry, School of Rural and Surveying Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Greece; [email protected], [email protected] KEY WORDS: Computer graphics, 3D visualization, graphics API, Vulkan, geospatial data ABSTRACT: The visualization of large-sized 3D geospatial models is a graphics intensive task. With ever increasing size and complexity, more computing resources are needed to attain speed and visual quality. Exploiting the parallelism and the multi-core performance of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a cross-platform 3D viewer is developed based on the Vulkan API and modern C++. The proposed prototype aims at the visualization of a textured 3D mesh of the Cultural Heritage by enabling a multi-threaded rendering pipeline. The rendering workload is distributed across many CPU threads by recording multiple command buffers in parallel and coordinating the host and the GPU rendering phases. To ensure efficient multi-threading behavior and a minimum overhead, synchronization primitives are exploiting for ordering the execution of queues and command buffers. Furthermore, push-constants are used to send uniform data to the GPU and render passes to adapt to the tile-based rendering of the mobile devices. The proposed methodology and technical solution are designed, implemented and tested for Windows, MacOS and Android on Vulkan-compatible GPU hardware by compiling the same codebase.

  • 3.2.1 Opengl Context and Window Creation
    OpenGL Context and Window Stefano Markidis and Sergio Rivas-Gomez Four Key-points • OpenGL does not include window creation and management. You will need separate libraries to manage the windows • As window creation and management, we suggest that you use either GLUT/FreeGLUT or GLFW • GLUT/FreeGLUT are easy to use and likely already installed on your systems, GLFW is the future but you need to install it • When using OpenGL, it is better to install and use a library for OpenGL function pointer management. We will install and use GLAD OpenGL Initialization … Without OpenGL! • We initialize OpenGL, by creating an OpenGL context, which is essentially a state machine that stores all data related to the rendering of our application. • Problem: Creating a window and an OpenGL context is not part of the OpenGL specification. • The reason that this is done differently on different platforms and OpenGL can’t guarantee portability. • There are libraries, not included in OpenGL, out there that supports window creation and management. Typical Program Flow with Window Management Libraries Every application making use of real-time graphics will have a program flow that comes down to this render loop Suggested Libraries to Create/Manage Windows • GLUT: OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library • Easiest to use • Already installed on lab machines and likely on your laptop. • Not designed for core-profile OpenGL • Free-GLUT newly developed version of GLUT, supported and new license type • GLFW: • Little more difficult to use than GLUT • Most modern and best integration with modern OpenGL. • It doesn’t support deprecated immediate-mode legacy OpenGL Create a Window with GLUT / Free GLUT • We first initialize window with glutInit, glutInitWindowSize(), glutCreateWindow() • We tell GLUT what is the function responsible for the rendering and define it.

  • The State of Vulkan on Apple 03June 2021
    The State of Vulkan on Apple Devices Why you should be developing for the Apple ecosystem with Vulkan, and how to do it. Richard S. Wright Jr., LunarG June 3, 2021 If you are reading this, you likely already know what Vulkan is -- a low-overhead, high-performance, cross-platform, graphics and compute API designed to take maximum advantage of today's highly parallel and scalable graphics and compute hardware. To be sure, there are other APIs with this goal such as Microsoft’s DirectX and Apple’s Metal API. For a long time OpenGL matured to meet the needs of rapidly evolving hardware and met well the challenges of cross-platform development of high-performance graphics applications. OpenGL will remain viable for a very long time for many applications (and can actually be layered on top of Vulkan), but to take maximum advantage of modern hardware, a new and somewhat reinvented approach is called for. Everyone does not need the level of control that Vulkan provides, but if you do, you can think of Vulkan as a lower-level successor to OpenGL in that it attempts to enable highly portable, yet high-performance, application development across desktop and mobile device platforms. Writing platform specific code does have its advantages, and vendors such as Microsoft and Apple certainly adore having best of breed titles available exclusively for their customers as it adds value to their ecosystem. For developers though, it is often in our best interests to make our products available as widely as possible. Aside from gaming consoles with their mostly closed development environments, Windows, Linux, Apple, and Android combined represent most of the market for developers of end user software and games today.

Graphics programming, at least in Finland, does not have much literature written for it. The purpose of this report is to examine how the graphics programming has evolved from the old times to modern times, and examine how the tools for writing graphics programming has changed. The author applied background knowledge learned in school and in free time about the research. The work was carried out by using the internet with search engines and online documentation searches. A variety of books, videos, articles and documentation pages were used as materials. The main results are a brief overview on the differences in graphics programming from the old times to modern times, descriptions on the areas graphics programming handles and a small example on the implementation of graphics program.
