Modern CPUs have instructions that allow basic operations to be performed on several data elements in parallel. These instructions are called SIMD instructions, since they apply a...
We introduce a straightforward, robust, and efficient algorithm for rendering high-quality soft shadows in dynamic scenes. Each frame, points in the scene visible from the eye ar...

An ideal visibility algorithm should a) quickly reject most of the hidden geometry in a model and b) exploit the spatial and perhaps temporal coherence of the images being generat...
Abstract. To achieve acceptable query response times in data warehouse environments, the data have to be pre-aggregated according to the need of the applications and stored redunda...
Semantic caches, originally proposed for client-server database systems, are being recently deployed to accelerate the serving of dynamic web content by transparently caching data...
