Want to know more about GPUs?
PV197 - GPU Programming, Jiří Filipovič:
9 Introduction: motivation for GPU programming, GPU architecture, overview of parallelism model, basics of CUDA, first demonstration code
0 GPU hardware and parallelism: detailed hardware description, synchronization, calculation on GPU - rate of instruction processing, arithmetic precision, example of different approaches to matrix multiplication - naive versus block-based

O CUDA, tools and libraries: detailed description of CUDA API, compilation using nvcc, debugging, profiling, basic libraries, project assignment
• Optimization: general rules for algorithm design for GPU, revision of matrix multiplication, parallel reduction
• Parallelism in general: problem decomposition, dependence analysis, design analysis, parallel patterns
O Metrics of efficiency for GPU: parallel GPU and CPU usage, metrics for performance prediction of GPU code, demonstration using graphics algorithms, principles of performance measurement
O OpenCL: introduction to OpenCL, differences comparing to CUDA, exploiting OpenCL for hardware not accessible from CUDA

Lesson 1 -
o Cg (C for Graphics), by NVIDIA - no longer under active development,
o HLSL (High Level Shading Language), by Microsoft, o GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), by Khronos Group. o Vulkan + SPIR-V, by Khronos Group.
Shader Languages Comparison
o almost the same capabilities,
o conversion tools exist,
o Cg and HLSL very similar (different setup),
o HLSL DirectX only, GLSL OpenGL only, Cg for both -> different platforms supported.
Chosen Language
We will use GLSL in this course: a open standard (same as OpenGL), 9 no install needed, a all platforms, all vendors.
Will will use GLSL 4.30 for OpenGL 4.3
o newer features will be mentioned but not demonstrated, o NVIDIA 400 family supports OpenGL 4.5 9 NVIDIA 600 family supports Vulkan

Toon-shading: textures
What about textures?
a Create special textures a Do not use textures

o Task 3: Implement toon-shading for diffuse and specular lighting for objects with textures.
Hint: Look for "Task 3" in texture_fragment.glsl
o Task 4: Threshold the color of the texture Hint: Look for "Task 4" in texture_fragment.glsl

Cel-shading
Adds contours around objects.
Contours, method 1: view direction
Check the angle between the normal and the view direction
black if n • / < threshold
PV227 - GPU Rendering (Fl MUNI) Lesson 1 - Introduction

Contours, method 1: view direction
Good for round objects, bad for flat objects
Good
Bad, no contour      Bad, left side is black

Contours, method 2: enlarge object
Render black back faces of objects enlarged a bit along their normals,
then render the front faces as usual

19.09.2016 32/38
Contours, method 3: Postprocessing
Use postprocessing to detect edges
Start with depths,
and detect edges.

Lesson 1 - Introduction
Cel-shading
Choose one (or both if you are fast):
o Task 5a: (easier) Implement the first method, i.e., inspect the view direction.
Hint: Look for "Task 5a" in notexture_fragment.glsl and in texture_fragment.glsl
a Task 5b: (harder) Implement the second method, i.e., render the objects twice, first only the black faces in black, and then the front faces in a standard way.
Hint: Look for "Task 5b" in Cv1_main.cpp (two places).

o How to solve more lights? Threshold separate lights and then add the result together? Or vice versa, first add the lights together and then threshold the result?
o How to solve transparent objects, like glass, fog, or smoke?

9 How about different thresholds for different materials? Think about 1D textures.
a How about different styles of the lines?
