Highlighted Quotes
"Highlighted on page 124: 'The GPGPU principle transforms ordinary Parallel Programming into exceptional Parallel Programming.'"
"Highlighted on page 154: 'The GPGPU principle transforms ordinary Parallel Programming into exceptional Parallel Programming.'"
"As the author notes in chapter 8, 'GPU Computing is not just about GPGPU, but rather about Parallel Programming.' This distinction makes all the difference."
"My key takeaway: 'Parallel Programming, when properly understood, renders WebGL almost trivial.' The proof is in the results."
"One powerful idea: 'Graphics Programming requires not just knowledge of WebGL, but mastery of GPU Computing.' The book shows exactly how to achieve this."
