Themaister
Hans-Kristian Arntzen, better known by the pseudonym Themaister, is a programmer who specializes in graphics programming, particularly the Vulkan API. He helped create the cross-platform frontend RetroArch and its Vulkan support. His work on the paraLLEl-RDP for RetroArch pioneered the use of Vulkan compute shaders in video game console emulation. Themaister used them to render computationally intensive low-level emulation on the GPU. This would emulate the Nintendo 64 with the accuracy of a pre-existing, low-level, CPU-based renderer, Angrylion; but with significantly lower hardware requirements and CPU-usage. This approach has since inspired the use of compute shader rendering in other emulators, such as redream, MelonDS, and PCSX2. RetroArch In 2010, Themaister created the SSNES interface for the bsnes emulator as an alternative to the existing Qt interface. A couple of years later, the project was renamed RetroArch. Themaister's work on Vulkan enabled RetroArch to be one of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
RetroArch
RetroArch is a free and open-source, cross-platform frontend for emulators, game engines, video games, media players and other applications. It is the reference implementation of the libretro API, designed to be fast, lightweight, portable and without dependencies. It is licensed under the GNU GPLv3. RetroArch runs programs converted into dynamic libraries called libretro cores, using several user interfaces such as command-line interfaces, a few graphical user interfaces optimized for gamepads, several input, audio and video drivers, and other sophisticated features such as dynamic rate control, audio filters, multi-pass shaders, netplay, gameplay rewinding, cheats, etc. RetroArch has been ported to many platforms. It can run on several PC operating systems, home consoles, handheld consoles, smartphones, smart TV's, single-board computers and web browsers. , versions for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 are not out yet, but are available unofficially.

University Of South-Eastern Norway
The University of South-Eastern Norway (), commonly known as USN, is a Norwegian state university. It has campuses in Bø, Telemark, Bø in Telemark, Porsgrunn, Notodden, Rauland, Drammen, Hønefoss, Kongsberg and Horten. USN is a continuation of the three former university college (Scandinavia), university colleges, Telemark University College, Buskerud University College and Vestfold University College, which merged between 2014 and 2016 to form the University College of South-Eastern Norway. The institution was granted the status of a full university by the King-in-Council on 4 May 2018. USN has 88 Undergraduate degree, undergraduate programs, 44 Master's degree, master's programs and 8 Doctor of Philosophy, PhD programs. Measured in the number of students, USN is the fourth largest University in Norway with approximately 17,000 students and 1,900 staff, spread over eight campuses. The university is exclusively offering several courses in Norway, such as optician study in Kon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
