PhysX GPU Acceleration on Radeon Update

The truth is… Nvidia is now helping us with the project and it seems they are giving us their blessings.

It’s very impressive, inspiring and motivating to see Nvidia’s view on this.

看得出來NVIDIA比較有腦袋….如果PhysX可以在Radeon上跑，那麼PhysX當然會獲得比較廣泛的支持。

所以他們有直接對這個porting作業進行支援。

(由於應該有原始SSE支援，Larrabee應該已經可以直接執行啦，只是跑不出理論性能….雖然這是猜測的)

反之AMD和Intel想要把NVIDIA邊緣化的心態在這邊就可以看得出來。

如果最後變成NVIDIA透過社群自行推出PhysX for Radeon的話其實會蠻爆笑的。

Nvidias Medusa-Demo auf Radeon HD 4850 und 4870

把NVIDIA這回給GTX280的DEMO給patch過，讓ATI的卡也能跑。

雖然GTX280和GTX260以壓倒性的表現超過4870、並且解析度拉越高差越遠，證明結構上有優勢；但是3870和9800GTX之間的差距之低倒是讓人笑不出來。

反倒是8800GTX很穩定地表現出與4870比肩的能力，這讓人覺得其實G92b如果能搭上足夠的記憶體頻寬(GDDR5?)的話應該還大有可為….

Introduction to the Direct3D 11 Graphics Pipeline

Allison Klein

Be the first on your block to learn about how Direct3D 11 extends and enhances Direct3D 10 with new hardware and API calls. This talk discusses the features in Direct3D 11 that enable you to create content that scales from small screens to high-resolution displays, and across different CPU and GPU configurations.

Direct3D 11 Tessellation

Kev Gee

Direct3D 11 contains new programmable and fixed function stages designed to enable powerful, flexible tessellation approaches at interactive frame rates in games and modeling applications. Come with us as we take a trip through the pipeline and hear how to prepare your content pipelines to exploit this incredible step in the evolution of graphics.

Direct3D 11 Compute Shader -More Generality for Advanced Techniques

Chas Boyd

The Direct3D API imposes some constraints on the processing model in order to achieve optimal rendering performance. Direct3D 11 introduces the Compute Shader as a way to access this computational capability without so many constraints. It opens the door to operations on more general data-structures than just arrays, and to new classes of algorithms as well. Key features include: communication of data between threads, and a rich set of primitives for random access and streaming I/O operations. These features enable faster and simpler implementations of techniques already in use, such as imaging and post-processing effects, and also open up new techniques that become feasible on Direct3D 11-class hardware.

High Level Shader Language (HLSL) Update-Introducing Version 5.0

Michael Oneppo

Get ready to shift your shader development into high gear with the next version of HLSL. This talk introduces new High Level Shader Language features coming in Direct3D 11, including support for Dynamic Shader Linkage and more. Hear how HLSL 5.0 brings support for interfaces, objects, and polymorphism, and get yourself ready for this exciting update to the world’s leading data-parallel programming language!

VocaSim.0.0.4

VocalSIMulator -ボーカル歌唱のシミュレーション手法の提案

　従来のVocaloid2 Editorは全てマウスで描画しており、オーバーシュートなどの細かな調整には膨大な工数が必要でした。唯一ビブラートのみは自動化されています。

　VocaListerner, MikuMikuVoice のアプローチは、肉声から音量と音高を抽出して、VSQファイルに反映させるというものです。肉声のニュアンスを緻密に反映できる特徴を有します。

　VocaSim のアプローチは、ボーカルをフィードバック制御システムとしてモデル化し、制御理論で元にPC内でシミュレーションするというものです。元歌不要でボーカルに似せた調整を掛けること可能です。

「ぼかりすでない何か」ことVocaSimがMacで動いた

http://mashpod.vox.com/library/post/vocasim004pl%E3%81%AEexe%E5%8C%96%E6%9A%AB%E5%AE%9A.html

vocasim004.plのexe化（暫定）

所以可以知道VocaSim的主要目的是把一些歌唱技巧產生的波形直接數值化、以Perl Script的方式直接灌進VSQ內。

當然問題就是那些波形從何而來…. 這問題從松尾P的sample即可看出：

老實說抖得很不自然。

不過由於波形和數字是可以很簡單地在perl script上調整，相較於滑鼠慢慢拖應該會是個很大的改進。

經過一段時間整理之後，應該會得到足夠的歌唱技巧才是？

Larrabee: A Many-Core x86 Architecture for Visual Computing

This paper introduces the Larrabee a many-core hardware architecture, a new software rendering pipeline, a many-core programming model, and performance analysis for several applications. Larrabee uses multiple in-order x86 CPU cores that are augmented by a wide vector processor unit, as well as fixed-function co-processors. This provides dramatically higher performance per watt and per unit of area than out-of-order CPUs on highly parallel workloads and greatly increases the flexibility and programmability of the architecture as compared to standard GPUs.

我開始認定Intel想要拿一堆x86 core硬幹software rasterizer了….

Larrabee沒有提到GPU最主要的三大要素：Rasterizer、TMU、ROP，我深深地懷疑其實Intel認定Larrabee靠32core CPU + AVX，就可以跑software rasterizer，它的作法可能只是把Rasterizer、TMU、ROP等需要的指令，加到AVX裡面，並且以firmware level的software來排程而已。

反正馬上就要揭曉….

話說Intel的人很斬釘截鐵地說「Larrabee的texture sampler比G80功能還要強大」….不過講話的態度不脫「Come on, how hard it could be?」。

今天就算GMA3x00直接擴大個十倍二十倍其實也不會慢到哪邊去才對，不過重點是要有就對了。
