Computer Science Department
American University of Beirut
In a two-part series of lectures exploring the various techniques used to exploit the inherent parallelism
available within graphics processors to expedite general-purpose computations:
Lecture 1: Mon 6 Nov, 3:00- 4:30 PM
This lecture will introduce the graphics processor pipeline and provide a comparison between the
conventional CPU programming model and that used for graphics programming, discussing the limitations of
current-generation graphics hardware.Practical examples will be provided to demonstrate data-parallel
computation using graphics shader programs with the OpenGL interface and to explain the mapping of
various constructs familiar to CPU developers. These examples aim to illustrate the steps involved in setting
up the environment, initializing the graphics components, transferring information to and from the graphics…
