Massively Parallel Processing for Graphics Dr. Frank Crow Principal Scientist Palo Alto Research Center Date: Wednesday, September 13, 1989 Time: 3:30 pm DC 1302 Place: Davis Centre, Room 1302 Abstract Many architectures and algorithms have been proposed for applying massively parallel methods to computer graphics. In recent years the onrush of technology has stampeded those of us who like to think about such things from the realms of fantasy and wishful thinking to the realm of the actually possible. A few massively parallel graphics systems have now actually been implemented. We can expect to see many more very soon. Can we really expect to attain, through parallel systems, the six orders of magnitude speedup necessary to produce today's most expensive imagery in real time? Answers may lie in looking at some current approaches to massive parallelism in graphics and the bottlenecks they leave. It will also help to look carefully at what is required to make images and how information must flow from shape descriptions to pixels. Refreshments The audience is invited to attend a wine & cheese reception at 4:30 pm in the ICR Lounge (DC 1301) immediately after the colloquium. This will be in lieu of the customary coffee and squares prior to the colloquium. A selection of wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available, accompanied by fruit and cheese. The reception is hosted by the Institute for Computer Research, the Department of Computer Science, and the Computer Graphics Laboratory.
