“High Performance Graphics 2009”
Abstract:
The High-Performance Graphics 2009 conference synthesizes two important and cutting-edge topics in computer graphics:
• Graphics Hardware, represented since 1986 by an annual conference of that name, focusing on graphics hardware, architecture, and systems.
• Interactive Ray Tracing, represented since 2006 in an innovative symposium focusing on the emerging field of interactive ray tracing and global illumination techniques.
By combining these two communities, we aim to bring to authors and attendees the best of both, while extending the scope of the new conference to cover the overarching field of performance-
oriented graphics systems, including innovative algorithms, efficient implementations, and novel hardware architectures. This broader focus offers a common forum for researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics algorithms, and innovative applications.
