  2. Unified shader model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_shader_model

    The unified shader model uses the same hardware resources for both vertex and fragment processing. In the field of 3D computer graphics, the unified shader model (known in Direct3D 10 as "Shader Model 4.0") refers to a form of shader hardware in a graphical processing unit (GPU) where all of the shader stages in the rendering pipeline (geometry, vertex, pixel, etc.) have the same capabilities.

  3. CUDA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

    In computing, CUDA is a proprietary [2] parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing units (GPUs) for accelerated general-purpose processing, an approach called general-purpose computing on GPUs.

  4. Shader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shader

    In computer graphics, a shader is a computer program that calculates the appropriate levels of light, darkness, and color during the rendering of a 3D scene—a process known as shading. Shaders have evolved to perform a variety of specialized functions in computer graphics special effects and video post-processing , as well as general-purpose ...

  5. ROCm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROCm

    ROCm [3] is an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) software stack for graphics processing unit (GPU) programming. ROCm spans several domains: general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), high performance computing (HPC), heterogeneous computing.

  6. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

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

    General-purpose computing on GPUs became more practical and popular after about 2001, with the advent of both programmable shaders and floating point support on graphics processors. Notably, problems involving matrices and/or vectors – especially two-, three-, or four-dimensional vectors – were easy to translate to a GPU, which acts with ...

  8. Fahrenheit (graphics API) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_(graphics_API)

    Fahrenheit was an effort to create a unified high-level API for 3D computer graphics to unify Direct3D and OpenGL. It was designed primarily by Microsoft and SGI and also included work from an HP-Microsoft joint effort. Direct3D and OpenGL are low-level APIs that concentrate primarily on the rendering steps of the 3D rendering pipeline ...

  9. Dia (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_(software)

    Dia has special objects to help draw entity-relationship models, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple electrical circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to draw the shape.
