In the field of 3D computer graphics, deferred shading is a screen-space shading technique that is performed on a second rendering pass, after the vertex and pixel shaders are rendered. [2] It was first suggested by Michael Deering in 1988. [3] On the first pass of a deferred shader, only data that is required for shading computation is gathered.
Adaptive scalable texture compression (ASTC) is a lossy block-based texture compression algorithm developed by Jørn Nystad et al. of ARM Ltd. and AMD. [1]Full details of ASTC were first presented publicly at the High Performance Graphics 2012 conference, in a paper by Olson et al. entitled "Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression".
For example, a tall wall or building that occludes other game entities can save GPU time that would otherwise be spent transforming and texturing items in the rear areas of the scene; and a tightly integrated software program can use this same information to save CPU time by optimizing out game logic for objects that aren't seen by the player.

Two companies dominate the GPU market. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is by far the leader in the space. Rival Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) , meanwhile, is trying to take Nvidia on and gain a ...
Another important part of the Nvidia story is its continued innovation in the GPU space. The company accelerated its development cycle to one year from two years, pushing out advancements. This ...
So, when compared head-to-head in the GPU space, Nvidia's product reigns supreme. But AMD has a much larger product line than just GPUs. The company has significant exposure to consumers through ...
Z-buffering is a technique used in almost all contemporary computers, laptops, and mobile phones for generating 3D computer graphics.The primary use now is for video games, which require fast and accurate processing of 3D scenes.
Nvidia's dominant market share in the data center GPU space affords it a significant amount of pricing power. In other words, demand is so strong that it can charge extremely high prices, which is ...
