A new and easy-to-implement method for direct volume rendering that uses 3D texture maps for acceleration, and incorporates directional lighting, is described. The implementation,...
In this paper we propose techniques to dynamically downsize or upsize a cache accompanied by cache set/line shutdown to produce efficient caches. Unlike previous approaches, resiz...
Most modern microprocessors employ one or two levels of on-chip caches in order to improve performance. These caches are typically implemented with static RAM cells and often occu...

The acceleration of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using high performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC) has been much studied. Given the intense competition from multicore...
The inherent reconfigurability of SRAM-based FPGAs enables the use of configurations optimized for the problem at hand. Optimized configurations are smaller and faster than their g...
