Blogs and writing

Much of the research progress on piet-gpu is documented in blog entries. Here are the most relevant:

• piet-gpu progress: clipping, Feb 24, 2022
• Fast 2D rendering on GPU, Jun 13, 2020
• A sort-middle architecture for 2D graphics, Jun 12, 2020
• piet-gpu progress report, Jun 1, 2020
• 2D Graphics on Modern GPU, May 8, 2019

There are some posts more general to GPU compute programming that might be of some interest:

• The stack monoid revisited, May 13, 2021
• Prefix sum on portable compute shaders, Nov 17, 2021
• The stack monoid, Sep 5, 2020
• Prefix sum on Vulkan, Apr 30, 2020
• GPU resources, Feb 12, 2020

A paper, Fast GPU bounding boxes on tree-structured scenes, describes the algorithm to compute bounding boxes for clipping and blending.
