Shadowing effects dramatically enhance the realism of virtual environments by providing useful visual cues. Shadow mapping is an efficient algorithm for real-time shadow renderin...
We describe the Slice Processor micro-architecture that implements a generalized operation-based prefetching mechanism. Operation-based prefetchers predict the series of operation...

Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
— The rendering mechanism used in Web browsers have a significant impact on the user behavior and delay tolerance of retrieval. The head-of-line blocking phenomena prevents the ...
We are currently developing Willow, a shared-memory multiprocessor whose design provides system capacity and performance capable of supporting over a thousand commercial microproc...
