  2. Immediate mode (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_mode_(computer...

    Immediate mode is an API design pattern in computer graphics libraries, in which . the client calls directly cause rendering of graphics objects to the display, or in which; the data to describe rendering primitives is inserted frame by frame directly from the client into a command list (in the case of immediate mode primitive rendering),

  3. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).

  4. GPU-Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU-Z

    TechPowerUp GPU-Z (or just GPU-Z) is a lightweight utility designed to provide information about video cards and GPUs. [2] The program displays the specifications of Graphics Processing Unit (often shortened to GPU) and its memory; also displays temperature, core frequency, memory frequency, GPU load and fan speeds.

  5. CUDA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

    CUDA is a software layer that gives direct access to the GPU's virtual instruction set and parallel computational elements for the execution of compute kernels. [5] In addition to drivers and runtime kernels, the CUDA platform includes compilers, libraries and developer tools to help programmers accelerate their applications.

  6. OpenGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL

    Over 50 game developers signed an open letter to Microsoft, released on June 12, 1997, calling on the company to actively support OpenGL. [25] On December 17, 1997, [ 26 ] Microsoft and SGI initiated the Fahrenheit project, which was a joint effort with the goal of unifying the OpenGL and Direct3D interfaces (and adding a scene-graph API too).

  7. Graphics library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_library

    By employing these functions, a program can assemble an image to be output to a monitor. This relieves the programmer of the task of creating and optimizing these functions, and allows them to focus on building the graphics program. Graphics libraries are mainly used in video games and simulations.

  8. Mesa (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)

    Video games outsource rendering calculations to the GPU over OpenGL in real-time. Shaders are written in OpenGL Shading Language or SPIR-V and compiled on the CPU. The compiled programs are executed on the GPU. Illustration of the Linux graphics stack: DRM & libDRM, Mesa 3D. Display server belongs to the windowing system and is not necessary e ...

  9. DirectX Raytracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_Raytracing

    These are used by the GPU to begin the raytracing process. New HLSL shaders, ray-generation, closest-hit, any hit, and miss, that are used describe computationally what DXR is doing when rendering raytracing. These shaders utilize the TraceRay function in HLSL to trace rays in the environment. When the ray interacts with the generated plane it ...
