CMU 15-418 (Spring 2012) Final Project

CMU 15-418 (Spring 2012) Final Project:

Parallel Subdivision

Reports

Working Schedule

Week What We Plan To Do What We Actually Did

Apr 1-7 Find a way to parallelize the algorithm and discuss the data structures involved. Discussed Things and waited for reply for our Project Proposal

Apr 8-14 Integrate the CUDA framework into our OpenGL code base and run tests to make sure it works. Did research on Parametric Subdivision and tried to find papers and ideas on dynamic subivision on a triangle mesh

Apr 15-21 Start implementing the actual algorithm. Decided on our topic and wrote code to load and render patches. Also did more research on subdivision on bezier patches.

Apr 22-28 Debugging the actual algorithm.

Apr 29-May 5 Hopefully be done or close to done. Optimize and tweak the algorithm.

May 6-11 Prepare demos and run the algorithm on different examples. Also, tweak numbers for certain effects. If possible, compare with other subdivision algorithms.

Working Log

[Keep a log of work you have done here. You may wish to list optimizations you tried, what failed, etc. Or you can just rant. Keeping a good log will make it easy to put together your final writeup.]
