NVIDIA GPUs have enormous compute power and typically need to be fed data at high speed to deploy that power. That is possible, in principle, since GPUs also... 13 MIN READ

In part 1 of this series, we introduced new API functions, cudaMallocAsync and cudaFreeAsync, that enable memory allocation and deallocation to be... 9 MIN READ

Most CUDA developers are familiar with the cudaMalloc and cudaFree API functions to allocate GPU accessible memory. However, there has long been an obstacle... 14 MIN READ

Acceleration structures spatially organize geometry to accelerate ray tracing traversal performance. When you create an acceleration structure, a conservative... 11 MIN READ

In ray tracing, more geometries can reside in the GPU memory than with the rasterization approach because rays may hit the geometries out of the view frustum.... 7 MIN READ

In Microsoft Direct3D, anything that uses memory is considered a resource: textures, vertex buffers, index buffers, render targets, constant buffers, structured... 6 MIN READ
