[pt] EXPLORANDO APLICAÇÕES QUE USAM A GERAÇÃO DE VÉRTICES EM GPU / [en] EXPLORING APPLICATIONS THAT USE VERTEX GENERATION ON GPU

GUSTAVO BASTOS NUNES 21 September 2011 (has links)
[pt] Um dos maiores gargalos do pipeline gráfico hoje é a largura de banda disponível entre a GPU e CPU. Para minimizar esse gargalo funcionalidades programáveis foram inseridas nas placas de vídeo. Com o Geometry Shader é possível criar vértices em GPU, porém, este estágio da pipeline apresenta performance baixa. Com o lançamento das novas APIs gráficas (DirectX11 e OpenGL4) em 2009, foi adicionado o Tessellator, que permite a criação de vértices em massa na GPU. Esta dissertação estuda este novo estágio da pipeline, bem como apresenta algoritmos clássicos (PN-Triangles e Phong Tessellation) que originalmente foram feitos para CPU e propõe novos algoritmos (Renderização de Tubos e Terrenos em GPU) para tirar proveito deste novo paradigma. / [en] One of the main bottlenecks in the graphics pipeline nowadays is the memory bandwidth available between the CPU and the GPU. To avoid this bottleneck, programmable features were inserted into the video cards. With the Geometry Shader launch it is possible to create vertices in the GPU, however, this pipeline stage has a low performance. With the new graphic APIs (DirectX11 and OpenGL4) a Tessellator stage that allows massive vertex generation inside the GPU was created. This dissertation studies this new pipeline stage, as well as presents classic algorithms (PN-Triangles and Phong Tessellation) that were originally designed for CPU and proposes new algorithms (Tubes and Terrain rendering in the GPU) that takes advantage of this new paradigm.
