The Dryad and DryadLINQ systems offer a new programming model for large scale data-parallel computing. They generalize previous execution environments such as SQL and MapReduce in...
In this paper we derive formal constraints relating terrain elevation and observed cast shadows. We show how an optimisation framework can be used to refine surface estimates usin...
: We describe an approach to parallel compilation that seeks to harness the vast amount of ne-grain parallelism that is exposed through partial evaluation of numerically-intensive ...
Implicit surface modeling systems have been used since the mid-1980s for the generation of cartoon-like characters. Recently implicit models combined with constructive solid geome...
