{"product_id":"gpu-gems-3","title":"GPU Gems 3","description":"“The GPU Gems series features a collection of the most essential algorithms required by Next-Generation 3D Engines.”\n—Martin Mittring, Lead Graphics Programmer, Crytek\nThis third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series provides a snapshot of today’s latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation, financial analysis, and even virus detection—particularly with the CUDA architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters, better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects.\nMajor topics include Geometry Light and Shadows Rendering Image Effects Physics Simulation GPU Computing\nContributors are from the following corporations and universities:\n3Dfacto\nAdobe Systems\nApple\nBudapest University of Technology and Economics\nCGGVeritas\nThe Chinese University of Hong Kong\nCornell University\nCrytek\nCzech Technical University in Prague\nDartmouth College\nDigital Illusions Creative Entertainment\nEindhoven University of Technology\nElectronic Arts\nHavok\nHelsinki University of Technology\nImperial College London\nInfinity Ward\nJuniper Networks\nLaBRI–INRIA, University of Bordeaux\nmental images\nMicrosoft Research\nMove Interactive\nNCsoft Corporation\nNVIDIA Corporation\nPerpetual Entertainment\nPlaylogic Game Factory\nPolytime\nRainbow Studios\nSEGA Corporation\nUFRGS (Brazil)\nUlm University\nUniversity of California, Davis\nUniversity of Central Florida\nUniversity of Copenhagen\nUniversity of Girona\nUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\nUniversity of North Carolina Chapel Hill\nUniversity of Tokyo\nUniversity of Waterloo\n\nSection Editors include NVIDIA engineers: Cyril Zeller, Evan Hart, Ignacio Castaño, Kevin Bjorke, Kevin Myers, and Nolan Goodnight.\nThe accompanying DVD includes complementary examples and sample programs.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0321515269\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0321515269.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nguyen, Hubert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
