Volume ray casting is based on sampling the data along sight rays. In this technique, reconstruction is achieved by a convolution, which collects the contribution of multiple voxe...
Although visual programming techniques have been used to lower the threshold of programming for end users, they are not sufficient for creating end user programming environments t...
This paper analyzes and quantifies the locality characteristics of numerical loop nests in order to suggest future directions for architecture and software cache optimizations. Si...
A large and increasing gap exists between processor and memory speeds in scalable cache-coherent multiprocessors. To cope with this situation, programmers and compiler writers mus...
Scheduling query execution plans is an important component of query optimization in parallel database systems. The problem is particularly complex in a shared-nothing execution en...
