GPU-Based Interactive Visualization Techniques (Mathematics and Visualization)
Daniel Weiskopf

Springer, 2006

Scientific visualization has become an important tool for visual analysis in many scientific, engineering, and medical disciplines. This book focuses on efficient visualization techniques, which are the prerequisite for the interactive exploration of complex data sets. High performance is primarily achieved by devising algorithms for the fast graphics processing units (GPUs) of modern graphics hardware. Other aspects discussed in the book ...

GPU-based Techniques for Global Illumination Effects (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics and Animation)
Laszlo Szirmay-Kalos

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2008

This book presents techniques to render photo-realistic images by programming the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We discuss effects such as mirror reflections, refractions, caustics, diffuse or glossy indirect illumination, radiosity, single or multiple scattering in participating media, tone reproduction, glow, and depth of field. The book targets game developers, graphics programmers, and also students with some basic understanding of ...

Physically Based Simulation on GPU - Theoretical Background and Implementation Details for Building a ...
Benjamin Rauscher

VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K., 2008

As focus in modern computer games shifts from purely realistic rendering to a more realistic environment for the user, interactive physical simulation of a broad range of objects - demanding a believable appearance, rather than physical correctness - becomes increasingly important. Traditionally physically based simulation is done on the CPU, however the pace of innovation in graphics hardware is staggering and continues to outpace processor ...
