In many cases there is still a large gap between the performance of current optimization technology and the requirements of real-world applications. As in the past, performance will improve through a combination of more powerful solution methods and a general performance increase of computers. These...

In many cases there is still a large gap between the performance of current optimization technology and the requirements of real world applications. As in the past, performance will improve through a combination of more powerful solution methods and a general performance increase of computers. These...

In this article, we have given an overview of hardware and traditional optimization techniques for the GPU. We have furthermore given a step-by-step guide to profile driven development, in which bottlenecks and possible solutions are outlined. The focus is on state-of-the-art hardware with accompany...

We present a software framework that facilitates the development of OpenGL applications utilizing the limited GPU capacities of a portable client in combination with the high-end rendering hardware on a server. The resulting webapplication uses standard technologies and can be run on a wide variety ...
