As XML database sizes grow, the amount of space used for storing the data and auxiliary data structures becomes a major factor in query and update performance. This paper presents...
The Decomposition Storage Model (DSM) vertically partitions all attributes of a given relation. DSM has excellent I/O behavior when the number of attributes touched in the query i...
This paper presents a method for quickly constructing a highquality approximate visibility function for high frequency semitransparent geometry such as hair. We can then reconstru...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their unique electronic properties, are promising materials for building nanoscale circuits. In this paper, we present a new CNT-based FPGA architect...
Petascale machines with close to a million processors will soon be available. Although MPI is the dominant programming model today, some researchers and users wonder (and perhaps e...
