| | So I'm hoping that if you're reading this, you've already attended or read the slides from my presentation about The Order: 1886 that was part of the Physically Based Shading Course at SIGGRAPH last week. If not, go grab them and get started! If you haven't read through the course notes already there's a lot of good info there, in fact there's almost 30 pages worth! The highlights include: Full description of our Cook-Torrance and Cloth BRDF's, including a handy optimization for the GGX Smith geometry term (for which credit belongs to Steve McAuley) Analysis of our specular antialiasing solution Plenty of details regarding the material scanning process HLSL sample code for the Cook-Torrance BRDF's as well as the specular AA roughness modification Lots of bea...

| The GPU in your computer is about 10 to 100 times more powerful than the CPU, depending on workload. For real-time graphics rendering and machine learning, you are enjoying that power, and doing those workloads on a CPU is not viable. Why aren't we exploiting that power for other workloads? What prevents a GPU from being a more general purpose computer?
