TLDR
Continuous, uninterrupted paying of paper tape into a cable-making machine is made possible at high speed by an accumulating chamber for a folded supply of the tape.Abstract:
This document describes the OpenGL graphics system: what it is, how it acts, and what is required to implement it. We assume that the reader has at least a rudimentary understanding of computer graphics. This means familiarity with the essentials of computer graphics algorithms as well as familiarity with basic graphics hardware and associated terms.read more

Cg: a system for programming graphics hardware in a C-like language
TL;DR: A programming language and supporting system that are designed for programming programmable floating-point vertex and fragment processors, with support for data-dependent control flow in the vertex processor.
Interactive Order-Independent Transparency
TL;DR: The technique presented here solves the problem of order dependence by using a technique the authors call depth peeling, where each unique depth in the scene is extracted into layers, and the layers are composited in depth-sorted order to produce the correctly blended final image.
