We describe an idea for making decomposition of Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions into basis functions more efficient, by performing a change-of-variables transform...
In PRAM emulations, universal hashing is a well-known method for distributing the address space among memory modules. However, if the memory access patterns of an application ofte...
Stream compaction is a common parallel primitive used to remove unwanted elements in sparse data. This allows highly parallel algorithms to maintain performance over several proce...
