Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

This paper presents a many-core visual computing architecture code named Larrabee, a
new software rendering pipeline, a manycore programming model, and performance …

Many interactive rendering algorithms require operations on multiple fragments (ie, ray
intersections) at the same pixel location: however, current Graphics Processing Units …

In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for multi-layer depth peeling via bucket sort of
fragments on GPU, which makes it possible to capture up to 32 layers simultaneously with …

We present a novel algorithm for stochastic rasterization which can rasterize triangles with
attributes depending on a parameter, t, varying continuously from t= 0 to t= 1 inside a single …

In the past decade, modern GPUs have provided increasing programmability with vertex,
geometry and fragment shaders. However, many classical problems have not been …

We present RenderAnts, the first system that enables interactive Reyes rendering on GPUs.
Taking RenderMan scenes and shaders as input, our system first compiles RenderMan …

We present an accelerated depth peeling algorithm for order-independent transparency
rendering on graphics hardware. Unlike traditional depth peeling which only peels one layer …

We present a software system that enables path‐traced rendering of complex scenes. The
system consists of two primary components: an application layer that implements the basic …

Current GPUs perform a significant amount of redundant shading when surfaces are
tessellated into small triangles. We address this inefficiency by augmenting the GPU …
