: In scalable parallel machines, processors can make local memory accesses much faster than they can make remote memory accesses. In addition, when a number of remote accesses must...
In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...
Data sources, storage, computing resources and services are entities on Grids that require mechanisms for publication and lookup. A discovery service relies on efficient lookup to...
Point-sampled geometry has gained significant interest due to their simplicity. The lack of connectivity touted as a plus, however, creates difficulties in many operations like ge...
Many interfaces allow users to manipulate graphical objects, icons representing underlying data or the data themselves, against a spatial backdrop or canvas. Users take advantage ...
