File Jan Valtin 1950.jpg 250px right Jan Valtin was the alias of Richard Julius Hermann Krebs December 17, 1905 January 1, 1951 , a German people German Communism Communist and spy Soviet agent during the interwar period. He defected to the United States in 1938, and in 1940 as Valtin wrote his bestselling autobiography Out of the Night . He also wrote several novels. Valtin became active in the Communist movement as a boy, when his father was involved in the naval mutiny that heralded the 1918 German revolution . In 1923 he saw action in the Hamburg Uprising failed Communist uprising in Hamburg . Sometime after this he was recruited by the Gosudarstvennoye Politicheskoye Upravlenie GPU , the foreign intelligence service of the Soviet Union , and forerunner to the KGB . After joining the GPU he helped run various smuggling enterprises, and helped organize Communist cells in the crews of merchant ships. As a sailor he visited many countries and could speak a number of languages including fluent English. He spent three years in San Quentin State Prison in California for an assault carried out under GPU orders. After the National Socialist German Workers Party Nazis came to power in Germany he fled to Denmark , where the GPU headquarters had relocated. At this time he was a seasoned GPU operative but fell out of favor with the leadership. He was sent back to Germany as an agent. According to Valtin this order was from Ernst Wollweber . He was subsequently arrested by the Nazis and brutally tortured. But the GPU made contact with him in jail and instructed him to defect to the Nazis and act as a double agent for them. This plan was successful, and the Nazis sent him to Denmark to make contact with the GPU again. However, they kept his wife and son hostage in Germany. Once again he fell out with the GPU leadership, who kidnapped him for transportation to the USSR. He escaped, and fled to the United States. The GPU took their revenge by publishing an article about him in ... more details

Overview Fixed function is a term canonically used to contrast 3D graphics API s and earlier GPU s designed prior to the advent of shader based 3D graphics APIs and GPU architectures. History Historically fixed function API s consisted of a set of function entry points that would approximately or directly map to dedicated logic for their named purpose in GPU s designed to support them. As shader based GPUs and APIs evolved, fixed function APIs were implemented by graphics driver engineers using the more general purpose shading architecture. This approach served as a segue that would continue providing the fixed function API abstraction most developers were experienced with while allowing further development and enhancements of the newer shader based architectures. OpenGL , OpenGL ES and DirectX Direct3D are all 3D graphics APIs that went through the transition from the fixed function programming model to the shader based programming model. Below is a table of when the transition from fixed function to shaders was made class Fixed function to Shader based APIs 3D API Last Fixed function Version First Shader Version OpenGL v1.5 v2.0 OpenGL ES v1.1 v2.0 DirectX v7.0 v8.0 Fixed Function vs Shaders Fixed function API s tend to be a simpler programming abstraction with a series of well defined and specifically named graphics pipeline stages. Shader based APIs treat graphics data vertices and pixels texels generically and allow a great deal of flexibility in how this data is modulated. More sophisticated rendering techniques are possible using a shader based API. Category 3D computer graphics ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The Render Output Unit , often abbreviated as ROP , and sometimes called perhaps more properly Raster Operations Pipeline , is one of the final steps in the rendering process of modern 3D accelerator boards. The Graphics pipeline Scan conversion or rasterization pixel pipeline s take pixel and texel graphics texel information and process it, via specific matrix operation matrix and vector geometric vector operation s, into a final pixel or depth value. The ROPs perform the transactions between the relevant Buffer computer science buffer s in the RAM local memory this includes writing or reading values, as well as blending them together. Historically the number of ROPs, Texture mapping unit TMUs , and pixel shader s have been equal. However, as of 2004, several GPU s have decoupled these areas to allow optimum transistor allocation for application workload and available memory performance. As the trend continues, it is expected that graphics processors will continue to decouple the various parts of their architectures to enhance their adaptability to future graphics applications. This design also allows chip makers to build a modular line up, where the top end GPU are essentially using the same logic as the low end products.
