GPU (GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT)

GPU (Graphics processing unit)



Introduction

Accordingly, 3D Graphics (GPUs) invented the job of rendering and displaying graphics in your control.

Discussion

GPU is a term used by the graphic arts industry products are produced, to describe the chip on the graphics card.

Front Buffer

This is a type of frame buffer and it holds the current image on the screen by the user to see.

Back Buffer

This is identical to the frame buffer, except for one change because here the GPU renders a scene before it's on the screen for the user.

Z-Buffer

This is detailed information for the GPU to refer to cross when you create the scene on the back buffer.

Texture Memory

This is generally in the area of the RAM, which fills up the fastest.

Anisotropic filtering

This is similar to recording a digital image and stretching it distorts in a paint program to clear the image.

Conclusion         

The integration of multi-media into the everyday lives of humanity it is likely the need for real-time graphic rendering will extend to boost indefinitely.

GPU (Graphics processing unit)

Introduction

Computer lifetime of three-dimensional worlds is not anything new. A computer-generated graphics can be made with a high degree of accuracy through software methods. But in the last ten years the demand for real-time generation of graphics, the central processing units to their maximum limits.

Applications such as video games require the user in a three-dimensional world that interactive will be submerged. To produce these millions of complex calculations on the fly can be made and to cast on the screen. Sorry, there are CPUs made the Jack of all trades in a system, but tend to fall in highly specialized tasks like this short. In recent years, these are considered as CPUs themselves advanced. It is not uncommon for the graphics card to a consumer level in terms of its own fans, large quantities clocked RAM and a CPU-GPU on the level of mortality rates. (Garcia 2008)

Discussion

In fact, it is a CPU like the operation of the computer optimized for a single task. GPUs only reason for existence is to render 3D virtual worlds of complex animations and translate the images into a two-dimensional image on the computer monitor presented fast enough to allow for smooth animations on the computer monitor. Most GPUs are split up into two areas. One area where the chip is the creation of a 3-D reality and the other with the production of the actual pixels to be displayed on the screen concerned. The difference is, the creation of the processor is in the mind is not necessarily what the user sees. do not see in this case the user object, but the CPU must know it's there in case the perspective changes.

Video Card Layout To achieve this, the GPU certain means at our disposal. So his relationship comes to the graphics card and the rest of the computer system.

In addition, some cards use two CPUs with a single for the ...
