Session/Talk Title	Description
Course Notes: Programming Graphics Hardware	A compilation of notes for the "Programming Graphics Hardware" course.
Introduction to the Hardware Graphics Pipeline	Introduces the concept of real-time graphics, the GPU, where a GPU fits into a PC's architecture, and covers the evolution of GPUs over time.
Controlling the GPU from the CPU: The 3D API	Outlines how to use 3D APIs to allow CPU programs to communicate with the GPU.
Programming the GPU: High-Level Shading Languages	Discusses the evolution of GPU programming models, culminating in the development of high-level shading languages such as HLSL, GLSL, and Cg.
Optimizing the Graphics Pipeline	Explains how to achieve maximum performance when rendering high-quality imagery by understanding and removing pipeline bottlenecks.
Advanced Rendering Techniques	Showcases the advanced effects that current graphics processors are capable of achieving in real-time. Covers Nalu, the launch demo for the GeForce 6 Series GPUs.
General-Purpose Computation Using Graphics Hardware	Covers some of the new applications of GPUs in non-graphics scenarios, and how mapping problems to the GPU can result in dramatic performance increases.
