Introduction

We are pleased to announce High-Performance Graphics 2012. High Performance Graphics is the leading international forum for performance-oriented graphics systems research including innovative algorithms, efficient implementations, and hardware architecture. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics algorithms, and innovative applications.
High Performance Graphics was founded in 2009 to synthesize and expand on two important and well-respected conferences in computer graphics:

• Graphics Hardware: an annual conference focusing on graphics hardware, architecture, and systems since 1986; and
• Interactive Ray Tracing: an innovative symposium begun in 2006 focusing on the emerging field of interactive ray tracing and global illumination techniques.

By combining and expanding these two communities, we bring to authors and attendees the best of both fields and a conference covering a broad range of interactive 3D graphics systems and algorithm research.
