Linear algebra operators for GPU implementation of numerical algorithms
Jens Krüger,Rüdiger Westermann +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a stream model for arithmetic operations on vectors and matrices that exploits the intrinsic parallelism and efficient communication on modern GPUs and introduces a framework for the implementation of linear algebra operators on programmable graphics processors (GPUs), thus providing the building blocks for the design of more complex numerical algorithms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Efficiently using graphics hardware in volume rendering applications
Rüdiger Westermann,Thomas Ertl +1 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces the concept of clipping geometries by means of stencilbuffer operations, and shows way to use 3D textures for the rendering of lighted andshadediso-surfaces in real-timewithout extracting any polygonalrepresentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infill Optimization for Additive Manufacturing—Approaching Bone-Like Porous Structures
TL;DR: This paper presents a method to generate bone-like porous structures as lightweight infill for additive manufacturing and proposes upper bounds on the localized material volume in the proximity of each voxel in the design domain.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
UberFlow: a GPU-based particle engine
TL;DR: By combining memory objects with floating-point fragment programs, this work has implemented a particle engine that entirely avoids the transfer of particle data at runtime.
Random walks for interactive alpha-matting
Leo Grady,Rüdiger Westermann +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a new technique based on random walks that has the following advantages: first, by leveraging a recent technique from manifold learning theory, it effectively use RGB values to set boundaries for the random walker, even in fuzzy or low-contrast images.
