Partitioning fragment shaders into multiple rendering passes is an effective technique for virtualizing shading resource limits in graphics hardware. The Recursive Dominator Split...
While guarded evaluation has proven an effective energy saving technique in arithmetic circuits, good methodologies do not exist for determining when and how to guard for maximal ...
Because of the growing importance of decimal floating-point (DFP) arithmetic, specifications for it were recently added to the draft revision of the IEEE 754 Standard (IEEE P754)....
