Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

A High-Level Interpreted MPI Library for Parallel Computing in Volunteer Environments
Idle desktops have been successfully used to run sequential and master-slave task parallel codes on a large scale in the context of volunteer computing. However, execution of messa...

The "DGX" distribution for mining massive, skewed data
Skewed distributions appear very often in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional Zipf distribution often fails to model them well. In this paper, we propose a new probability di...

Workload characterization for operator-based distributed stream processing applications
Operator-based programming languages provide an effective development model for large scale stream processing applications. A stream processing application consists of many runtim...
