We present a novel architecture for flexible control of shading rates in a GPU pipeline, and
demonstrate substantially reduced shading costs for various applications. We decouple …

When the rendering budget is limited by power or time, it is necessary to find the
combination of rendering parameters, such as resolution and refresh rate, that could deliver …

Due to complex shaders and high-resolution displays (particularly on mobile graphics
platforms), fragment shading often dominates the cost of rendering in games. To improve the …

We propose a powerful hardware architecture for pixel shading, which enables flexible
control of shading rates and automatic shading reuse between triangles in tessellated …

We present a technique that adaptively adjusts the shading rate during rendering based on
the scene content and motion. Our goal is to improve performance with no loss in perceived …

Stochastic sampling in time and over the lens is essential to produce photo-realistic images,
and it has the potential to revolutionize real-time graphics. In this paper, we take an …

When rendering effects such as motion blur and defocus blur, shading can become very
expensive if done in a naïve way, ie shading each visibility sample. To improve …

Realistic rain simulation is a challenging problem due to the variety of different phenomena
to consider. In this paper we propose a new rain rendering algorithm that extends present …

We introduce a practical parallel technique to achieve real-time motion blur for textured and
semi-transparent triangles with high accuracy using modern commodity GPUs. In our …

Real-time rendering with true motion and defocus blur remains an elusive goal for
application developers. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in the areas of …
