This article delves into how GPUs work at the hardware level and explains why they are designed to handle such an enormous amount of computation.

In this part, we’ll continue looking at the different pipelines inside a GPU and fill in the rest of the components commonly found in today’s GPU designs.

This series explores GPUs — powerful processors that have made an impact across many fields. In this first post, we will take a look at the basic graphics pipeline, the foundation of most mainstream GPUs from the 2000s.

We’ll explore how the GPU is controlled through software, including an overview of common APIs and drivers.

Take a closer look at the past, present, and future of the modern ray tracing pipeline.
