Rendering: CPU and GPU
Description
- The graphics processing unit (GPU) is running
asynchronously with the CPU.
- Running on the CPU, the application issues
commands through OpenGL to the graphics driver, which in turn speaks to the GPU
in its native language.
- On the graphics card there is video memory
(VRAM) that stores data and images buffers where the synthesized image is
formed.
