GAM 576: Gpu Architecture

Real-time application GPU development. Topics include GPU pipeline, data parallelization, hierarchy data flow on GPU, asset compression, non-graphics data processing, graphics rendering and data conversion. Design and implementation of parallel GPU applications across multiple GPU cores. Exploration of different parallelization techniques for large (non-graphical) computationally heavy systems. Developing and debugging blind data flow on GPU hardware. Students will design, develop and implement a real-time GPU application (i.e. Skinned Animation rendering engine) that integrates large converted data assets using 100s of parallel GPU cores.

GAM 575 is a prerequisite for this class.
