Presentation: "Accelerating the Web: How GPUs make browsers fast"
Track:
Hardware Acceleration Today
Time: Tuesday 10:50 - 11:50
Location: Robinson/Whitman
Abstract:
Modern browsers are prime examples of using GPUs to accelerate computationally intensive tasks. But how do they actually do it? This talk sheds some more light on browser interactions with the GPU and explain what happens behind the scenes, covering the topic of acceleration of primitive drawing, the use of tiled backing store, and composited layer
