This course is part of the VVVV Intermediate Program of Summer Season 2024.
This course is part of a FUSE Bundle consisting of 8 courses all together.
Explore the power of compute shaders, vital for performing complex calculations on the GPU. This session will guide you through the utilization of compute shaders in FUSE, enabling you to optimize performance and achieve breathtaking computational graphics. Whether you’re a graphics enthusiast or a performance-oriented developer, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge to leverage compute shaders effectively for your visual projects.
Course Outline
During this workshop, participants will learn about:
Compute Shader
- Understand the role of compute shaders and their capabilities.
- Learn how to utilize buffers and textures within compute shaders for efficient data processing.
- Explore interlocked operations for synchronization and data manipulation.
- Bring together various compute shader techniques to solve complex computational tasks.
- Append Buffers for dynamic data storage and processing.
Compute System
- Set up a basic compute system, including resource management and compute stages.
- Implement buffer-based compute systems for efficient data manipulation.
- Select elements using indices.
- Render elements for visual feedback.
- Utilize debug data for performance analysis.
- Create animations without a particle system using compute shaders.
- Explore texture-based compute systems, with a focus on a basic example of simulating fluid dynamics.
