Independent Study

So I'm running out of courses that I'm required to take at RIT for my software engineering degree, and faster than I'm running out of required course blocks that I have to fill in order to actually graduate. So I'm doing an independent study. I've decided that writing a ton isn't for me, so I'm keeping these brief from now on until some miraculous day comes around where people want to actually read what I'm typing. This was after all just for my own records...

So yeah, independent study. I'm doing Photon Mapping on the GPU with a focus on real-time results. My laptop's a beast for it's age (Quadcore i7, GeForce 285M GTX video card) so I should be able to get some power out of it. I'm going to use OpenCL I think, but I might change my mind in the next few days and move to CUDA instead. Other than that there's not much to say right now. I'll throw up another post with content next hopefully.
