Every autumn semester

The purpose of the course is to that the students shall comprehend the foundations about three-dimensional computer graphics using hardware accelerators. Furthermore, the student shall understand how graphics algorithms for hardware work, and the student shall be able to apply this in practice.

Graphics architectures, shader programming, graphics APIs, edge functions, perspectively correct interpolation, texturing, caching, filtering, fixed-point math, texture compression, performance analysis, antialiasing algorithms and culling algorithms.

be able to analyze graphics architectures, and also be able to set up hypotheses about what a new algorithm can give in terms of improvements.
be able to describe graphics architectures.
have an insight into the current state of the art APIs for graphic

be able to implement three-dimensional applications on hardware accelerators using existing APIs.
be able to evaluate and be able to value graphics architectures, i.e., study theoretical issues.
be able to orally describe the assignments.

be able to find information about algorithms, and critically value these, and thereafter implement, and test whether a good result can be obtained.
