Recently I have improved the blooming effect in terms of performance by about two magnutudes.
Blooming is a rendering effect which makes the otherwise black space between close pixels brighter. It is a post-processing effect, meaning the completely rendered frame is being edited as an image right before being drawn on the screen.
The improvement that I implemented was instead of going through the frame pixel by pixel and checking the surrounding of each pixel, at first to scan the frame for all non-black pixels and to save their positions, so the algorithm only has to iterate through the amount of drawn pixels instead of the whole frame.

Ich hab noch ein bisschen an der Java-Grafikausgabe aus meinem Projekt PhysX3D weiter geschrieben. Aus einfachen Linien sind Polygone geworden, die dynamisch von einer (oder auch mehreren) frei beweglichen Lichtquellen beleuchtet werden. In diesem Beispiel berechnet die CPU auf einem Kern 25.600 Dreiecke pro Frame, und das etwa 30 Mal in der Sekunde.
Ich verwende dazu nur die elementarsten Java-Bibliotheken wie das JFrame, ein Fenster, in dem ich Linien, Text und Vielecke zeichnen kann.
Wie funktioniert die Berechnung?
Für jedes Dreieck wird der Normalenvektor berechnet. Das ist sozusagen eine Linie, die immer senkrecht auf der Fläche des Dreiecks steht. Dann wird der Normalenvektor skalar mit dem Vektor vom Mittelpunkt des Dreiecks zur Lichtquelle multipliziert. Einfach ausgedrückt vergleicht man dabei, ob der Normalenvektor zur Lichtquelle zeigt. Wenn er das tut, ist die Fläche heller, sonst dunkler. Mit dem Ergebnis der skalaren Multiplikation wird die Helligkeit des Dreiecks skaliert.
Die Lichtquelle muss nicht immer am selben Punkt sein, sie kann sich auch bewegen, wie hier im Video demonstriert.
Was ist der praktische Nutzen davon?
Das Prinzip der dynamischen Beleuchtung ist heutzutage in jedem Computerspiel und in jeder Rendering-Software zu finden, bloß werden dort die Dreiecke noch viel kleiner gemacht, damit zum Beispiel ein animiertes Gesicht nicht eckig aussieht.")

FluidX3D is a real time 3D fluid simulation based on the lattice Boltzmann method. It is written in OpenCL C (GPU code) and optimized to the physical limit (video memory bandwith, ~520GB/s).
All demonstrations in the video are simulated and visualized in real time on a Nvidia Titan Xp. Graphics are done with the OpenCL C version of Line3D, the fastest graphics engine ever written for primitive shapes like lines, dots and circles. It can handle up to 2 billion lines per second.
The free surface is done with the volume-of-fluid (VoF) extension to LBM. It allows simulating free surfaces with a sharp interface layer. Having to avoid race conditions makes an efficient GPU implementation of VoF is quite challenging. Currently there is no surface tension yet; the curvature estimation algorithm is still under construction.
The volume force (gavity) is implemented with the Gou forcing scheme.
