Abstract— For resource management in Grid environments, advance reservations turned out to be very useful and hence are supported by a variety of Grid toolkits. However, failure ...
Executing long-running parallel applications in Opportunistic Grid environments composed of heterogeneous, shared user workstations, is a daunting task. Machines may fail, become ...
In this paper, the problem of bus-driven floorplanning is addressed. Given a set of blocks and the bus specification (the width of each bus and the blocks that the bus need to g...
We present a sampling strategy and rendering framework for intersectable models, whose surface is implicitly defined by a black box intersection test that provides the location a...
Fast global illumination computation is a challenge in several fields such as lighting simulation and computergenerated visual effects for movies. To this end, the irradiance cac...
