Repeat this loop:CPU takes user input from joystick or mouse
CPU re-calculates viewer position, view direction, and light positions in 3-D world space
GPU clears memory and draws the complete scene geometry with the new viewer and light positions

Programming Model
API: Set of functions, procedures or classes that an OS, library or service provides to support requests made by computer programs
DirectX: Collection of APIs to handle multimedia, esp. game programming and video tasks, on MS platforms.
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language, cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics.
Why is 3D Graphics important?More than just Fun and Games....

APIS FOR HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING
APIs for Heterogeneous Computing
CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA. Programmers use 'C for CUDA' (C with NVIDIA extensions), compiled through a PathScale Open64 C compiler, to code algorithms for execution on the GPU. Both low/high level APIs are provided
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a framework for writing programs that execute across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and other processors.
Microsoft DirectCompute is an API that supports General-purpose computing on GPUs on Microsoft Win Vista or Win 7. DirectCompute is part of the Microsoft DirectX collection of APIs.
One Host+ one or more Compute DevicesEach Compute Device is composed of one or more Compute Units
Each Compute Unit is further divided into one or more Processing Elements
