Edinburgh
- A hybrid approach to realistic real-time lighting by using raytracing in addition to rasterization to achieve global illumination.
- A tool to enable code analysis in which data access is mapped out and areas of improvement are identified in how to achieve higher data throughput; essential for GPUs.
- A tool for rapid prototyping of OpenCL kernels; closely related to the GPU shader editors you can use.
- Real-time stone, sand and metal deformation on the GPU.

DYNAMIC RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF VISUAL EFFECTS PRODUCTION
The aim of the project is to research how to carry out rapid resource allocation (digital goods and services) subject to business rules, in order to balance constraints such as time to delivery, quality of product, load-balancing and external factors.
