Courses and Papers at Siggraph
An Introduction to Shader-Based OpenGL Programming
SIGGRAPH Core | Tuesday, 4 August | 1:45 PM - 5:30 PM | Auditorium B
| Description | Presenters |
|---|---|
| This course provides an accelerated introduction to creating applications using these recent versions of OpenGL API. It introduces the most recent version of OpenGL, in which an application must provide vertex and fragment shaders and cannot rely on a fixed-function pipeline. Consequently, this course is a complete rewrite of the OpenGL course that has been taught at the annual SIGGRAPH conference for over 10 years. | Ed Angel, University of New Mexico Dave Shreiner, ARM |
Beyond Programmable Shading I
SIGGRAPH Core | Thursday, 6 August | 8:30 AM - 12:15 PM | Auditorium A
| Description | Presenters |
|---|---|
| This course introduces the trends and directions in this emerging field. Topics include: parallel graphics architectures, parallel programming models for graphics, and game-developer investigations of the use of these new capabilities in future rendering engines. | Aaron Lefohn, Intel Mike Houston, AMD Kayvon Fatahalian, Stanford Tim Foley, Intel Case Everitt, Id Software |
Beyond Programmable Shading II
SIGGRAPH Core | Thursday, 6 August | 1:45 PM - 5:30 PM | Auditorium A
| Description | Presenters |
|---|---|
| This second course in the series Beyond Programmable Shading presents the state of the art in combining traditional rendering API usage with advanced task- and data-parallel computation to increase the image quality of interactive graphics. Topics include: interactive realistic lighting, advanced geometry-processing pipelines, in-frame data structure construction, complex image processing, and rasterization versus ray tracing. | Aaron Lefohn, Intel Mike Houston, AMD Justin Hensley, AMD Paul Lalonde, Intel David Luebke, NVIDIA Ulf Assarsson, Chalmers University |
