graphical processing unit

Rasterization software renders three-dimensional scenes for two-dimensional screens {graphical processing unit} (GPU). GPU first makes scene into independent plane polygons, typically triangles. It must find which ones are closer {z-buffer}. Because light reflects from objects onto other objects {global illumination}, GPU must later add indirect light.
