Abstract. Methods for exact computation of irradiance and form factors associated with polygonal objects have ultimately relied on a formula for a differential area to polygon form...
An expert trouble-shooter is a subject who has a great deal of experience in his activity that allows him or her to be very efficient. However, the large amount of problems he or s...
Traditional offline program specialization relies on staging of a computation into two levels, static and dynamic. We present a generalization thereof where the static input data o...
This paper proposes a hardware mechanism for reducing coherency overhead occurring in scientific computations within DSM systems. A first phase aims at detecting, in the address s...
