The graphics processing unit (GPU) has now become an integral part of our lives through both desktop and portable devices. Thanks to dedicated hardware, visualization been significantly accelerated, softwares today only use the GPU for rasterization. As a result this development, we triangle-based rendering, pixel-based image manipulations can be performed using shaders. It stated that today’s ...
