This book covers essential tools and techniques for programming the graphics processing unit. Brought to you by Wolfgang Engel and the same team of editors who made the ShaderX series a success, this volume covers advanced rendering techniques, engine design, GPGPU techniques, related mathematical techniques, and game postmortems. A special emphasis is placed on handheld programming to account for the increased importance of graphics on mobile devices, especially the iPhone and iPod touch.

Example programs and source code can be downloaded from the book's CRC Press web page.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Any professional programmer in the field will find something of interest in this volume. I'm thrilled to see that this collection is in color-it's about time! A wide range of topics are covered, from global illumination to image processing to mobile devices. I particularly like the fact that the book doesn't go the scholarly researcher route; the articles are written in a straightforward way to help with implementation of the idea, and code is often provided.
―Eric Haines, February 2010, co-author of Real-Time Rendering

I recently started reading GPU Pro and it is outstanding! I love the full color and syntax highlighting!
―Patrick Cozzi, Virtual Globe and Terrain Rendering blog, June 2010

    5.0 out of 5 stars amazing book
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011
    well, this book delivers the latest game programming technology in a way that is understandable for everyone, even the beginners. it covers various topics like adaptive instanced tessellation, sub-surface scattering and sub-screen ambient and directional occlusion. the book also contains example shaders and other very useful material, which is also available from the internet, though one without experience wouldnt understand the examples without the book.

    With 700+ pages it is definitely the most wanted book for advanced game programmers, even if we consider its fairly high price ~70$.

    Not as good as ShaderX series but still quite good. Hopefully soon my preorder of the next version, GPU Pro 2, gets shipped.
