Suggested books

If you are serious about nextgen shader programming, you should have this book next to your pillow! This third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series provides a snapshot of today’s latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation, financial analysis, and even virus detection—particularly with the CUDA architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters, better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects

A complete guide to learning OpenGL. It covers all OpenGL functionality and goes further to GLUT. In the latest edition the book also covers the OpenGL Shading Language.

nVidia unveils CUBA - The GPU Computing Revolution

0 February 7, 2007 at 1:54am by Harry Kalogirou

In a recent press release nVidia anounced CUBA. A fundamentaly new architecture for GPU computing that will finally remove the stream computing paradigm!

This is like my previous post about gpus and the programming model was read by nVidia! Imagine we will finally be able to harvest the powers of modern GPUs for general computing, without having to mess with vertex buffer, textures and other nonsense!

Good days ahead!!!
