Traditional graphics hardware architectures implement what we call the push architecture for texture mapping. Local memory is dedicated to the accelerator for fast local retrieval...
The SHRIMP cluster-computing system has progressed to a point of relative maturity; a variety of applications are running on a 16-node system. We have enough experience to underst...
