=== v1.0.10 === (30 September 2011)
|
||||
|
||||
This release features an extensive new example showing the application of
|
||||
ispc to a deferred shading algorithm for scenes with thousands of lights
|
||||
(examples/deferred). This is an implementation of the algorithm that Johan
|
||||
Andersson described at SIGGRAPH 2009 and was implemented by Andrew
|
||||
Lauritzen and Jefferson Montgomery. The basic idea is that a pre-rendered
|
||||
G-buffer is partitioned into tiles, and in each tile, the set of lights
|
||||
that contribute to the tile is computed. Then, the pixels in the tile are
|
||||
then shaded using those light sources. (See slides 19-29 of
|
||||
http://s09.idav.ucdavis.edu/talks/04-JAndersson-ParallelFrostbite-Siggraph09.pdf
|
||||
for more details on the algorithm.)
|
||||
|
||||
The mechanism for launching tasks from ispc code has been generalized to
|
||||
allow multiple tasks to be launched with a single launch call (see
|
||||
http://ispc.github.com/ispc.html#task-parallelism-language-syntax for more
|
||||
information.)
|
||||
|
||||
A few new functions have been added to the standard library: num_cores()
|
||||
returns the number of cores in the system's CPU, and variants of all of the
|
||||
atomic operators that take 'uniform' values as parameters have been added.
