  1. 3D and beyond. what Graphics cards Can do for you Bart Meganck & Patricia Mergen

  2. Friday noon talk You : You : tired Sore bum Looking forward to post-conference trips I : Lots of pictures Wacko subject Not hindered by in-depth knowledge

  3. 3d <//> data is 3D <//> public is spoiled <//> where to find the processing power ? www.dresden.de

  4. gpu <//> Graphical Processing Unit : co-processor for graphical work <//> single-minded : 3D rendering <//> no general purpose computing <//> blisteringly fast <//> 6 month development cycle

  5. GP-gpu <//> abuse single-purpose GPU for general-purpose computing <//> through special algorithms (libraries/frameworks)‏ <//> high power, low cost <//> parallelisation

  6. Use cases

  7. Movie rendering Movie rendering Movie rendering Realtime depth-of-field preview http://graphics.pixar.com/DepthOfField/paper.pdf http://graphics.pixar.com/DepthOfField/paper.pdf

  8. Physics / Chemistry: Coulomb-based ion positioning http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/gpu/images/riboions.jpg

  9. Medicine : Image processing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CT_of_brain_of_Mikael_H°aggström_S3_I30.JPG

  10. <//> Edge extraction <//> measurements <//> pattern recognition <//> volume rendering Medicine : Image processing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bonereconstruction.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Venesreconstruction.JPG

  11. other <//> 3D scenery rendering (movie special effects)‏ <//> 3D physics animations (gravity, wind)‏ <//> 3D particle behaviour (nuclear, weather)‏ <//> texture rendering (movies)‏ <//> software virus signature matching <//> encryption/decryption <//> (pseudo) random-number generation <//> Earth subsurface rendering (seismic data)‏

  12. What's it to us ?
