Tuesday Events | Time | Topic | Presenters | Location | | 1:45 PM -3:30 PM | Panel: Will GPUs Change the Face of Rendering CGI for Motion Pictures?Current-generation GPUs raised the production values of games while radically changing the development and content pipelines, but they are still rarely used in film production. This session examines the obstacles that prevent GPUs from being integrated into film pipelines and looks at some strategies for implementing them in production.

Wednesday EventsNVIDIA Sponsored Sessions | Time | Topic | Presenters | Location | | 8:30-9:30am | Advances in GPU-based Image Processing and Computer VisionAs a massively parallel processor, the GPU is well-suited for performing "per-pixel" operations in image processing and computer vision. However, new changes in hardware, software, and algorithm mappings allow entire vision algorithms to be performed solely on GPU. This session summarizes how GPU programming now goes beyond per-pixel mappings and is accelerating image-feature processing and handling, frequency domain processing, graph cuts segmentation, and more.

| Room 294 Ernest N. Morial Convention Center | | 9:45-10:45am | 3D Vision Technology - Develop, Design, Play in 3D StereoA detailed technical overview of implementing a 3D stereo experience in your application. Specifically, this session addresses the use cases you must address to create compelling 3D stereo applications, with an emphasis on some key technology challenges and how many of them are easily addressed by some basic implementation patterns. If you're a 3D graphics developer, you will gain a complete set of knowledge on how to implement outstanding 3D stereo applications. This talk will also include a presentation from CAPCOM on their new Resident Evil 5 game, which was build to completely support stereo 3D effects, including both "depth of field" and "out of field" effects.

| | 1:45-5:30pm | Course: Efficient Substitutes for Subdivision SurfacesThe goal of this course is to familiarize attendees with the practical aspects of subdivision surfaces for which we introduce substitutes for increased efficiency in real-time applications. The course starts by highlighting the properties that make SubD modeling attractive and introduces some recent techniques to capture these properties by alternative surface representations with a smaller foot-print. We list and compare the new surface representations and focus on their implementation on current and next-generation GPUs. Among the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, we address crucial practical issues, such as watertight evaluation, creases and corners, seamless displacement mapping, cache optimization. Finally and most importantly, Valve and Industrial & Light Magic will present a few breathtaking practical examples and demonstrate how these advanced techniques have been adopted into their gaming and movie production pipelines.
Level: Intermediate
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of geometric modeling algorithms, in particular subdivision surfaces, and some familiarity with the graphics pipeline of modern GPUs.

Thursday Events | Time | Topic | Presenters | Location | | 1:45-5:30pm | Course: Beyond Programmable Shading IIThis second course in the series Beyond Programmable Shading presents the state of the art in combining traditional rendering API usage with advanced task- and data-parallel computation to increase the image quality of interactive graphics.
Leaders from graphics hardware vendors, game development, and academic research present case studies that show how general parallel computation is being combined with the traditional graphics pipeline to boost image quality and spur new graphics algorithm innovation. Each case study discusses the mix of parallel programming constructs used, details of the graphics algorithm, and how the rendering pipeline and computation interact to achieve the technical goals. The focus is on what currently can be done, how it is done, and near-future trends. Topics include volumetric and hair lighting, alternate rendering pipelines including ray tracing and micropolygon rendering, in-frame data structure construction, and complex image processing.
The course concludes with a panel, moderated by the creator of OpenGL Kurt Akeley, on the future of interactive graphics programming models.
Level:Intermediate
Prerequisites:Experience with a modern graphics API (OpenGL or Direct3D), including basic experience with shaders, textures, and frame buffers, and/or experience with parallel programming languages. Some knowlege of parallel programming on CPUs or GPUs is useful but not required.
