Space deformation is an important tool in computer animation and shape design. In this paper we propose a new local deformation model based on generalized metaballs. The user spec...
Aggregation in traditional database systems is performed in batch mode: a query is submitted, the system processes a large volume of data over a long period of time, and, eventual...

Performance monitoring of large scale parallel computers creates a dilemma: we need to collect detailed information to find performance bottlenecks, yet collecting all this data ...
Designing the illumination of a scene is a di cult task because one needs to render the whole scene in order to look at the result. Obtaining the correct lighting e ects may requi...
This paper describes an implementation of parallel LU factorization. The focus is to achieve high performance on non-dedicated clusters, where the number of available computing re...
