The most costly spatial operation in spatial databases is a spatial join with combines objects from two data sets based on spatial predicates. Even if the execution time of sequen...
Only a handful of fundamental mechanisms for synchronizing the access of concurrent threads to shared memory are widely implemented and used. These include locks, condition variab...
We present a method to measure reflectance and texture of surfaces in a one step process. For later use in digital image synthesis it is mandatory to separate the gathered intensi...
