At SIGGRAPH 2025, we’ll be presenting the paper “Stochastic Barnes-Hut Approximation for Fast Summation on the GPU”. By injecting a bit of randomization into the classic yet deterministic Barnes-Hut approximation for fast kernel summation, we can achieve nearly 10x speedups on the GPU!

Our #SGP25 work studies a simple and effective way to uniformly sample implicit surfaces by casting rays. (1/9) “Uniform Sampling of Surfaces by Casting Rays” w/ @abhishekmadan.bsky.social @nmwsharp.bsky.social and Alec Jacobson

According to the SIGGRAPH Executive Committee Meeting Minutes, SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 will take place in Malasyia, the *second most deadly country for trans people in the entire world*
