In this paper, we present several compute‐based point cloud rendering approaches that
outperform the hardware pipeline by up to an order of magnitude and achieve significantly …

The reconstruction of 3D point clouds from image datasets is a time-consuming task that has
been frequently solved by performing photogrammetric techniques on every data source …

In this paper, we present a real-time graphics pipeline implemented entirely in software on a
modern GPU. As opposed to previous work, our approach features a fully-concurrent, multi …

Recently, massively-parallel computing libraries and devices are much widely used, in
addition to the traditional 3D graphics systems. In this paper, we present a full 3D fixed …

Contemporary GPUs are designed to handle long-latency operations effectively; however,
challenges such as core occupancy (number of warps in a core) and pipeline width can …

Contemporary GPU architectures have multiple shader cores and a scheduler that
distributes work (threads) among them, focusing on load balancing. These load balancing …

The increasing demand for high-quality graphics requires a significant increase in
computational power of modern GPUs. The common approach to follow is augmenting the …

In this paper, we introduce the CPatch, a curved primitive that can be used to construct
arbitrary vector graphics. A CPatch is a generalization of a 2D polygon: Any number of …

In this second part of the tutorial, having explored the basic CUDA programming model in
part one, we will now take a closer look at how the programming model maps to the …

In recent years, mobile devices have become an integral part of modern life and are here to
stay. Given that vision is one of the fastest and most intuitive ways of human perception, it …
