Abstract
As new technologies for CPUs and GPUs are released, games showcase improved graphics, physics simulations, and responsiveness. For limited form-factors such as virtual reality head-mounted displays though, it is possible to explore alternatives components to harness additional performance such as the GPU. This paper introduces a shader-based architecture for developing games using shared resources between the CPU and the GPU.
