Questions and Answers

What is a shader in computer graphics?

  • A programmable logical unit on the GPU which can replace the 'fixed' functionality of OpenGL with user-generated code (correct)
  • An interface for creating 3D models and textures
  • A type of software used for rasterization and clipping in computer graphics
  • A component of the CPU responsible for computations related to visual effects

    • What language can be used to write shaders at a high-level?

  • Assembly language
  • GLSL (general)
  • C++
  • Nvidia's Cg language (correct)

    • What is the role of shaders in computer graphics?

  • To manage the user interface of computer graphics applications
  • To create a variety of visual effects (correct)
  • To control the CPU while the application runs on the GPU
  • To handle computations unrelated to graphics on the CPU
