Room 403AB, Los Angeles Convention Center

Welcome to the course notes and supplementary materials for the full-day SIGGRAPH 2012 Beyond Programmable Shading course.

Overview

In this 5th consecutive Beyond Programmable Shading SIGGRAPH course, we continue with the core mission of the course—discussing how GPU and CPU parallel computing are used in conjunction with the traditional 3D real-time rendering pipeline to improve image quality, performance, or reduce power consumption. We will also further explore future directions in real-time rendering innovation. Unlike past years, we assume the audience is already familiar with modern real-time rendering CPU + GPU hardware architecture and programming models.
This year's course focuses on applications of GPU + CPU compute to solve real-time illumination problems, an updated discussion of game developers' requests to the rendering research community, a deep dive on power-efficient rendering algorithms, and a panel on how past research in this field has and has not affected the game and graphics hardware industry.
