This article by Andrew Griffiths was published in "ShaderX5: Advanced Rendering Techniques" in 2006. It introduces a new technique to accelerate classic 2D "Worley" cellular texturing using the GPU. The article is only available in the book at the moment, but the sample applications, source code and media that accompany it can be downloaded below.
