High Performance Graphics (HPG) 2011

Back in conference mode so better update the blog. Spent the last couple days at HPG 2011, a conference that is running in parallel to SIGGRAPH 2011. Brings back memories of early to mid nineties when I was working in this area. Back to my teapot days as my brother would say. Pretty interesting to see what is going on. In some ways the same stuff (voxels, bounding volume hierarchies, and frames per second) and in some ways very different (20 ms per frame, and coaxing flops from GPUs). Lots of interesting papers!!!

Bonus was that I got to meet with a couple of old colleagues, including Eric Haines (from my Ray Tracing News days circa 1992) and Mark Bolstad (from IEEE Vis circa 1993).
