Graphics Turing Test Graphics Turing Test In computer graphics the Graphics Turing Test is a variant of the Turing Test, the twist being that a human judge viewing and interacting with an artificially generated world should be unable to reliably distinguish it from reality. The original formulation of the test is: The "Graphics Turing Scale" of computer power is then defined as the computing power necessary to achieve success in the test. It was estimated in as 1036.8 TFlops peak and 518.4 TFlops sustained. Actual rendering tests with a Blue Gene supercomputer showed that current supercomputers are not up to the task scale
Non-deterministic Turing machine Non-deterministic Turing machine In theoretical computer science, a Turing machine is a theoretical machine that is used in thought experiments to examine the abilities and limitations of computers. In essence, a Turing machine is imagined to be a simple computer that reads and writes symbols one at a time on an endless tape by strictly following a set of rules. It determines what action it should perform next according to its internal "state" and "what symbol it currently sees". An example of one of a Turing Machine's rules might thus be: "If you are in state 2 and you see
