Embree - Meet Authors of High Performance Raytracing Kernals
Intel Labs will release their latest high-performance raytracing kernals, Embree. Meet the authors and interact with them on Wednesday, August 8th at 9am in room 402B. To learn more about Embree, go to http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/embree-photo-realistic-ray-tracing-kernels/
Research from the ISTC for Visual Computing at SIGGRAPH
The Intel Science and Technology Center for Visual Computing (ISTC) will present several research papers at the upcoming SIGGRAPH 2012. This blog offers a sneak peek at the research from this recently formed center that will be presented. Intel formed the ISTC for Visual Computing to research current computing trends in four keys areas: large-scale gaming, animation, image understanding and graphics systems.

| Embree – Photo-Realistic Ray Tracing Kernels Manfred Ernst, Sven Woop (Intel Corporation) 9:00-10:00 am | ||
|
This session gives an overview of Embree, a collection of high-performance ray tracing kernels developed at Intel Labs. Embree is freely available as open source. The new features of the upcoming version 1.1 of Embree will be discussed in detail. This session is also an opportunity to get in touch with the developers of Embree and provide feedback and input for future releases.

| The Future of OpenCL* for Graphics, Film Applications on Intel Platforms Nico Galoppo, Ryan Tabrah (Intel Corporation) 10:45-11:45am | ||
|
OpenCL is an emerging application programming standard for creating graphics intensive applications. Using the power of the Intel® SDK for OpenCL Applications, you’ll learn about OpenCL technology and how to use it to get the most performance out of film, video, or animation, applications by accessing the power of both the CPU and Intel® HD Graphics on a 3rd Gen Intel ® Core™ processor-based platforms. This session feature an eye-candy rich graphical demo that demonstrates this processing power as well as how to use the OpenCL runtime and tools to create your own OpenCL

| Optimizing Film, Media with OpenCL* and Intel® Quick Sync Video Ryan Tabrah, Petter Larsson (Intel Corporation) 2:00-3:00pm | ||
|
Optimizing performance on film, video or animation application can be challenging. Using powerful Intel® Visual Computing Tools like Intel® SDK for OpenCL Applications, the Intel® Media SDK, and the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers you'll learn how to do hardware accelerated video transcoding 50% faster over previous generation solutions, future proofing your software, and leaving you free to able to use the CPU to do film editing and other tasks at the same time.

| Efficient antialiasing on Intel HD graphics Alexander Reshetov (Intel Corporation) 3:15-4:15pm | ||
|
Many modern game engines use deferred shading, which precludes the use of standard multi-sample anti-aliasing. Instead, these engines commonly use post-processing based anti-aliasing techniques such as morphological anti-aliasing (MLAA). In this talk we present a significantly improved MLAA algorithm that runs 2.5x faster on Intel graphics than the previous state-of-the-art MLAA. This algorithm is very fast, runing at 1000 frames/sec for a 1 Mpixel image on Intel's latest graphics hardware. This presentation will introduce post-processing antialiasing; explain the new algorithm; and provide key details of optimization for Intel graphics, including code samples.

| Future of Visual Computing as viewed by Intel Visual Computing Research Centers Frank Crow, Randi Rost (Intel Corporation) 4:30-5:30pm | ||
|
The Intel Science and Technology Center for Visual Computing (ISTC-VC) and the Intel Visual Computing Institute (IVCI) bring together thought leaders from across the US and Europe to conduct research into what will drive visual computing in the 5 to 10 year out time frame. The researchers at these Centers have written approximately ¼ of all of the papers accepted at SIGGRAPH 2012. This talk highlights the advances occurring within the Centers, discusses the themes that are being pursued within the Centers and shows a series of videos and demos that highlight the advances occurring under them.
