This paper proposes a massively parallel hardware architecture for efficient tracing of incoherent rays, e.g. for global illumination. The general approach is centered around hier...
One of the key tenets of database system design is making efficient use of storage and memory resources. However, existing database system implementations are actually extremely ...
Fast and effective distribution of software updates (a.k.a. patches) to millions of Internet users has evolved into a critical task over the last years. In this paper, we characte...
