ICS' Contributions to the Intel Developer Zone

ICS engineers have published a set of papers on the Intel Developer Zone website that discuss utilizing parallel processing to improve performance in 3D graphics intensive applications, such as gaming. In this domain, realism is important as an indicator of success. In order to mimic the actual world, many things need to happen at the same time which requires parallel processing. Each article covers the topic using a different graphics system:

• Unity 5.6
• Vulkan 1.0
• Unreal Engine 4
• Direct3D 12

Moving from single-threaded to multi-threaded processing on the CPU, the articles advance to improving performance by splitting the work between CPU and GPU. Included with each article is accompanying source code demonstrating the techniques.
The list of articles is:
