- Course objectives
- This lecture aims to give an overview of the basic GPU programming methods and commonly used techniques with the focus on shader programming. Students: will gain practical knowledge of GPU programming; will understand the workflow of special purpose high-level programming languages; will be able to write parallel programs running on the GPU;
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the semester, a student should be able to:
- understand and describe possibilities of modern programmable GPUs for rendering 3D scenes;
- read up a and explain function of existing GLSL shaders;
- design and implement own GLSL shaders - Syllabus
- Programmable graphics pipeline.
