Nvidia's Kepler real-time raytracing and destruction (1080p) - The Verge

2012-05-15
let's take it up a notch is we're finally able with Kepler's GPU do you real trip do ray tracing in real time and so notice the blue lumens yes there's one person who really appreciates know there's there's a whole bunch of us so let's set this and go wow that's really hard look at that and so you could see the the claw our logo of course you could see very clearly you could see it reflected on the cylinder and not the silly but the sphere you can also see our claw reflecting off the sphere but you can also see the sphere reflecting off the clock off the sphere okay notice that the glass case the glass boss is not just a piece of plastic is actually not a translucent polygon is actually the modeling of a piece of glass and notice that it's reflecting and notice the edges of the boxes all rapists there's actually real challenging there there's real glass it looks like real glass well that's all very cool but let's pick it up in our shall we we know that ray tracing is hard we know that fluid simulation is incredibly hard what did we did ray tracing and fluid simulation at the same time and ray trace the fluids let's go completely crazy shall we alright Jim let's see it the reflection and the refraction in the Pernell offense of the water it's just beautiful watch this as you can see as you can see GTC is not only about science GTC is not Stan Kepler is just the beginning of it you can see that in several years computer graphics well look nothing like the chalk chalky computer shaded easy easily shaded loves WC in game console and video games today this is the way that next generation of computer graphics will look computer graphics the first element of Kepler's influence now of course we understand that computer graphics is vital to the work that we do together here it's vital even 2gb computing and the reason for that is because the computer graphics is so large the video game industry is so large there are hundreds of millions of gamers around the world the video game industry is tens of billions of dollars large as a result is able to fund enormous advancements if we could harness that basic architecture and leverage it for general-purpose computing it is unbelievable how much Rd we could bring to bear we can also of course make this technology highly pervasive so that everyone here in the audience any of the scientists around the world can easily reach out and grab a supercomputer in their hands Hepler is a big deal for computer graphics but Kepler is a bigger deal for high-performance computing today I like to announce the other persona of Kepler Kepler is going to be the most energy efficient and the highest performance HPC accelerator
