Siggraph 2008: Top Picks to Follow Along

Siggraph is still underway, and it’s a great year to be a game developer at Siggraph.

I’ve already got my pick for the three best items for a game developer to look at, and you can do so now:

• Advances in Real-Time Rendering in 3D Graphics and Games Course
• Halo 3 lighting
• Virtual Textures
• Simulation and Rendering Massive Crowds on GPU
• Wavelets with Current and Future Hardware
• Starcraft Effects & Techniques
• Beyond Programmable Shading Course
• GPU architecture: history, current cards, future direction
• Larrabee architecture and programming techniques
• Writing data & task parallel algorithms for tightly coupled computation and graphics
• Compute API discussions
• Examples of parallel applications in games and graphics
• Larrabee Paper

If you weren’t able to make it to a presentation, I highly recommend you check out Siggraph Encore, where you can purchase videos of the presentations.
