Intel Details Handling Anti-Aliasing On CPUs

MojoKid writes "When AMD launched their Barts GPU that powers the Radeon 6850 and 6870, they added support for a new type of anti-aliasing called Morphological AA (MLAA). However, Intel originally developed MLAA in 2009 and they have released a follow-up paper on the topic--including a discussion of how the technique could be handled by the CPU. Supersampling is much more computationally and bandwidth intensive than multisampling, but both techniques are generally too demanding of more horsepower than modern consoles or mobile devices are able to provide. Morphological Anti-aliasing, in contrast, is performed on an already-rendered image. The technique is embarrassingly parallel and, unlike traditional hardware anti-aliasing, can be effectively handled by the CPU in real time. MLAA is also equally compatible with ray tracing or rasterized graphics."

Ya know I never took that "be careful what you wish for" phrase to mean much...until it happened to me. I thought I had it made with my now ex, cute, loved to cook, loved sex daily.

The problem? Frankly it was so easy to get her wound up and off that just as things started getting good she would be wore out and throwing the time out signal while trying to catch her breath! It totally ruined it for me as I LOVE foreplay and frankly anything less than 30 minutes I consider a quickie and with her after 12-14 minutes she was a sweaty twitching ball of post orgasmic goo ready to fall asleep. I guess I was lucky she ended up having to move to take care of an ailing father because the whole "please let me give you a blowjob as I can't come anymore" was driving me nuts!

So be careful what you wish for fellow /.ers, as I thought I had found the perfect woman, hell even my family thought the world of her and that NEVER happens. But I found out the hard way that one can have frequent sex and still be completely sexually incompatible.

Oh and before some troll says "She was just faking LOL!" yeah right, it really wasn't hard to tell when a gal like hers has an orgasm. When they buck up so hard they damned near throw you off the bed and you are drenched from the crotch down? One really doesn't need to look for subtle changes in physiology with a gal like that. I'm just glad we never did it in my Ranger as I hear you just can't get that out of cloth seats and I seriously doubt putting down a towel would have helped in her case.
