C# for Computer Graphics and hence for Scientific Computing

Robert Tobler, VRVis Research Center

Today, Friday, 1 March 2013, 12:30pm, GMI Orange Seminar Room (room 9.36)

Although C# does not have such a dedicated community for scientific computing as Python, its modern language features allow for a high level of code reuse and extend some of the features found in Python. I will show some examples from Computer Graphics, which show how the combination of generic and functional programming with a strong type system can benefit the impementation of algorithms for scientific computing.

Since 2000, Dr. Tobler is a senior research at VRVis Research Center for Virtual Reality and
Visualization in Vienna, Austria. His professional interests include real-time and photorealistic rendering, efficient global illumination algorithms, and procedurally generated geometry and generalized subdivision. His web page is http://rftobler.at/Personal/ .
