EDAN35 - High Performance Computer Graphics

Overview:

This course is about generating 3D graphics for interactive applications using custom graphics hardware such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We will cover how a GPU works and how to program a GPU for applications such as games from mobile platforms, such as the iPhone, iPad, right up to high end graphics from AMD/ATI and Nvidia.

This course will be given in English.

Requirements:
"Linear Algebra", "EDA027 Algorithms and Data Structures" and "EDA221/DATE12 Computer Graphics".

If you have already done EDA075 Mobile Graphics, you cannot get credit points for EDAN35.

Teachers:
Michael Doggett  (mike at cs.lth.se), lecturer and course contact.
Björn Johnsson, Teaching assistant.
Per Ganestam, Teaching assistant.

Project:
Part of the course will include a project where students create a 3D application using a C++ scenegraph called 'RenderChimp' which can be run on high end 3D graphics cards or ported to the iPhone/iPad platform.

Exam:
You must pass the exam to pass the course.
The exam will be on 2011-12-15, 08:00-13:00, Vic:3A, B.
The re-exam will be on be 11th of April, 2012. 08:00-13:00, Room E:3308.
