I put it in the Miscellaneous section

Gosh. I'm shocked. Didn't know it was that off. Why did ATi go this route?

4 PWL function is cheap in transistors and performance (look-up tables). Might be helpful: http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPU...chapter24.html nevermind the irony.

Although, given the history of R400 -> C1... who knows, just like the decision excluding say FP16 blending, which ATi already had in a shipping part at the time (R520).

First of all, I only see 3 segments (am I blind or what).

If 4PWL function is cheaper, they could have at least make the distance of the segments more dense at the beginning of the curve! This would give a better approximation at the beginning of the curve, as the end of the curve seems rather linear, one segment seems enough...I bet that I could construct a better approximation with 4 segments than the Xenon 4PWL!!

Sorry, don't know if this is the right place to post this. But I came across a rather interesting interview of Mark Cerny - a lot of intersting stuff he tells and of course he seems to be an interesting person himself!

I haven't seen this one before (or have I?)

All presentations of DICE employees gathered in one single spot. Very handy!

Repi has an updated presentation about parallelization up there today. Here's his blog update regarding the presentation

http://repi.blogspot.com/2010/05/sth...orum-talk.html

I skimmed it and some is over my head since I'm not big into graphics. Most of the general parallelization talk is interesting. The bonus slides are cool.

I add a link to Nvidia GPU GEM 2 "online book" Once you're there you should faind your way to most of their accessible for free content
I checked and links pointing to Repi's blog and Dice website was already in there

[AlStrong]

Gamefest 2010 slides are up http://www.microsoftgamefest.com/seattle2010.htm

Added

reading stuffs, quiet some stuffs are too complex tho...

Kuddos to One in this presentation there's a link to one of his post here about Capcom Framework engine

INteresting pres by the way. It will be useful to give more meat to some discussion about native resolution (may do it latter today or tomorrow).

This is not about game development, but about digital photography and image processing:

Best damn collection ever, IMHO. Helps a lot to understand issues related to HDR, gamma correction, tone mapping, depth of field, color correction and so on.
Highly recommended to everyone, even if you've read stuff about these topics before. I'd say a lot of game developers themselves should also look into it...

Thank you! \o/

This thread is enlightening. Loved the ND Unleashed video and making of LOVE and ND's Gamma explanations. Thanx everyone !

Although a fairly straight-forward design, it's a good summary of how back-end services can impact user experiences / client performance.

As a predominantly back-end developer these days, with experience with Oracle RAClusters, and the limitations around them, I certainly feel for these EA/Dice developers.

I wonder how long we have to wait for the new GDC stuff.

Seems to be getting sooner and sooner every year. The main thing will be for the folks to remove sensitive material (unreleased game shots). I expect DICE and Bungie material to go up ASAP.
