RTSDF: Generating Signed Distance Fields in Real Time for Soft Shadow Rendering

Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) for surface representation are commonly generated offline and subsequently loaded into interactive applications like games. Since they are not updated every frame, they only provide a rigid surface representation. While there are methods to generate them quickly on GPU, the efficiency of these approaches is limited at high resolutions. This paper showcases a novel technique that combines jump flooding and ray tracing to generate approximate SDFs in real-time for soft shadow approximation, achieving prominent shadow penumbras while maintaining interactive frame rates

Game Action Based Power Management for Multiplayer Online Game

Current mobile devices embrace a wide range of functionalities including high speed network support, hardware accelerated 3D graphics, and multimedia capabilities. These capabilities have boosted the interest for enabling multiplayer online games (MOG) support on such devices. However, the lack of similar growth in battery technology limits the usability of these devices for MOGs. In this paper, we present energy conservation techniques for highly interactive MOGs. These are games, such as firstperson shooters, where crisp user interaction is paramount to the overall game experience. Hence, conserving energy while preserving crisp user interaction becomes a critical consideration in this domain. We first present three obvious power management approaches and highlight their limitations. We then discuss two applicationassisted approaches for power management that manage to save power while preserving the required user experience. Our results demonstrate that these applicationassisted approaches are very promising
