Get a look at the ideas, people, and breakthroughs shaping what’s next

Some of the best SIGGRAPH moments don’t happen onstage.
They happen in small group discussions where ideas are still taking shape.
.
If you have a topic you’re curious about, a question worth exploring, or a niche interest looking for company, this is where it belongs.

What if the future of graphics required rethinking the GPU from the ground up?
.
At SIGGRAPH 2026, the Sponsored Keynote by Bolt Graphics takes on that challenge.
.
Founder and CEO/CTO Darwesh Singh will share how Bolt is building Zeus — a GPU designed for real-time path tracing and physics simulations. By moving beyond traditional rasterization, this approach aims to push closer to fully realistic, real-time rendering.

🚀 The next evolution of graphics hardware takes center stage at SIGGRAPH 2026.

Bolt Graphics presents the Sponsored Keynote session, “Building a GPU for the Future of Computer Graphics.”

What if GPUs weren’t designed around rasterization, but built from the ground up for real-time path tracing and physics simulation? This presentation explores that question through Bolt Graphics’ work on Zeus, a next-generation GPU architecture aimed at reshaping rendering, simulation, and high-performance computing.

Join Darwesh Singh as he shares how rethinking GPU design could unlock new levels of efficiency, performance, and possibility for creators, researchers, and engineers worldwide. Learn more and register to attend via the link in our bio!
