"The GPU Gems Series feature a collection of the most essential algorithms
required by Next-Generation 3D Engines."
--Martin Mittring
Lead Graphics Programmer

This third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series
provides a snapshot of today's latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming
techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not
only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome
processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation,
financial analysis, and even virus detection--particularly with the CUDA
architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers
will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters,
better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects.
Major topics include
- Geometry
- Light and Shadows
- Rendering
- Image Effects
- Physics Simulation
- GPU Computing
