Multi-core processors naturally exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP). However, extracting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) from individual applications or threads is still a ...
Compile-time scheduling is one approach to extract parallelism which has proved effective when the execution behavior is predictable. Unfortunately, the performance of most priori...
Stochastic transparency provides a unified approach to orderindependent transparency, anti-aliasing, and deep shadow maps. It augments screen-door transparency using a random sub...
