Sponsored Feature: CPU Onloading - Leveraging the PC Platform

During the optimization phase of your game, it's all about frame rate.
Whether you're increasing visual effects and quality to maximize the
user's experience or dialing down your GPU demands to increase game
responsiveness, FPS is key.

"Onloading" is a concept that can increase platform performance by
using CPU resources to do typical GPU-assigned tasks, which may be
especially useful when targeting platforms with modest processor
graphics. In this article, Intel game and application engineers, Josh
Doss and Doug McNabb, provide an introduction to CPU Onloading,
including its benefits and challenges, determining whether your game
is a good candidate, and the four primary techniques for implementing
it.
