GPU-accelerated Path Rendering

Authors: Mark Kilgard & Jeff Bolz, NVIDIA CorporationPresenter: Mark KilgardTime: Friday, 30 November 14:15 - 16:00Location:  Peridot 206, Singapore EXPO Blurb: For thirty years, resolution-independent 2D standards (e.g. PostScript, SVG) have relied largely on CPU-based algorithms for the filling and stroking of paths. Learn about our approach to accelerate path rendering with our GPU-based "Stencil, then Cover" programming interface. We've built and productized our OpenGL-based system.
