In our #SIGGRAPH2025 paper “Interactive Optimization of Scaffolded Procedural Patterns”, we introduce a new way to define and optimize procedural patterns in a sketch-based interactive design workflow.

Moving to sustainable manufacturing requires new computational design tools. We show how to make new objects from old "trash". 🚮
Presented on Thursday at SGP 2025 in the Fabrication session.

Ever wondered how badly we're all addicted to buying new GPUs in graphics labs?

Come see our talk at #SIGGRAPH2025 to discuss how we can collectively move "Towards a sustainable use of GPUs in Graphics Research"

with @elie-michel.bsky.social @axelparis.bsky.social Octave Crespel and Felix Hähnlein

MOTIVATION
Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) are at the core of Computer Graphics research. These chips are critical for rendering images, processing geometric data, and training machine learning models. Yet, the production and disposal of GPUs emits CO2 and results in toxic e-waste [1].

METHOD
We surveyed 888 papers presented at SIGGRAPH (premier conference for computer graphics research), from 2018 to 2024, and systematically gathered GPU models cited in the text.

We then contextualize the hardware reported in papers with publicly available data of consumers’ hardware [2, 3].
