An excellent first part article/tutorial of a series on 'Ray tracing with OpenGL Compute Shaders' by Kai Burjack. Its pretty rare to find good tutorials covering such topics especially using modern OpenGL techniques. By the end of the tutorial series its expected that you'll be
LWJGL uses the OpenAL-Soft library for its OpenAL support. One of the MESA developers, Timothy Arceri, while profiling OpenArena noticed that about 14% of the CPU usage was being used for processing sound. After looking into the situation he implemented SSE2 and SSE4.1 linear resamplers in OpenAL-Soft
