We present a new method that utilizes path coherence to accelerate walkthroughs of geometrically complex static scenes. As a preprocessing step, our method constructs a BSP-tree t...

Historically, processor accesses to memory-mapped device registers have been marked uncachable to insure their visibility to the device. The ubiquity of snooping cache coherence, ...

Many future shared-memory multiprocessor servers will both target commercial workloads and use highly-integrated “glueless” designs. Implementing low-latency cache coherence i...
Heterogeneous multi-core and streaming architectures such as the GPU, Cell, ClearSpeed, and Imagine processors have better power/ performance ratios and memory bandwidth than tradi...
It is widely accepted that transient failures will appear more frequently in chips designed in the near future due to several factors such as the increased integration scale. On t...
