About
UC Davis course EEC277 introduces the design and analysis of the architecture of computer graphics systems. Topics include the graphics pipeline, general-purpose programmability of modern graphics architectures, exploiting parallelism in graphics, and case studies of noteworthy and modern graphics architectures.
GRAMPS: A Programming Model for Graphics Pipelines and Heterogeneous Parallelism
Jeremy Sugerman from Stanford describes GRAMPS, a programming model for graphics pipelines and heterogeneous parallelism.
Juggling the Pipeline
We turn away from a fixed-function graphics pipeline and explore what we can do with a user-programmable pipeline, where not only pipeline stages but ...
Overflow from the Pipeline Lectures
This lecture contains the overflow from the 4 pipeline lectures, mostly the composition/display lecture.
Composition/display
The final stage of the graphics pipeline is composition/display. In this lecture we look at antialiasing algorithms, compositing, the depth buffer, an...
GPU Graphics and Compute Architecture
John Nickolls, chief compute architect for NVIDIA's GPUs, discusses NVIDIA GPU graphics and compute architecture.
Texture
Texturing is the process of applying images to geometry. We look at the function of texture and how we filter texture, and then how graphics hardware ...
The Latest Graphics Processing Units
Justin Hensley of AMD/ATI Graphics describes the latest GPUs from AMD's ATI Graphics division.
Rasterization
Rasterization is the GPU stage that produces fragments from screen-space triangles. We look at both pixel coverage and parameter interpolation algorit...
Geometry
In this lecture, we take a close look at the geometry stage of the graphics pipeline: transformations, homogeneous coordinates, the OpenGL lighting mo...
