Rendering high-quality computer animations requires intensive computation, and therefore a large amount of time. One way to speed up this process is to devise rendering algorithms...
This paper presents efficient image-based rendering techniques used in the context of an architectural walkthrough system. Portals (doors and windows) are rendered by warping laye...

While many pleasing effects are possible using the current VRML sound model [9], it falls short of producing convincing aural environments. Sound sources are not easily affected b...
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a multithreaded runtime library for parallel I/O. We extend the multi-threading concept to separate the compute and I/O tasks in t...
