<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
A timely selection from the following topics:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">GPU Computing</span>: GPU architecture, massively parallel programming, parallel algorithms, performance</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rendering</span>: Graphics pipeline (rasterization), path tracing, deferred shading, forward+ rendering, VR</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">APIs</span>: CUDA, WebGL, Vulkan</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
This is a project-intensive course with significant coding, writing, and presenting. It is <strong>more work</strong> than any other course, but it is worth it.
</p>
<p>
For a course more focused on GPU architecture without graphics, see Joe Devietti's <a href="http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~devietti/classes/cis601-spring2017/">CIS 601</a>.
</p>
