Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perfor...
In this paper, we propose to use database technology to improve performance of web proxy servers. We view the cache at a proxy server as a web warehouse with data organized in a h...
In this paper we demonstrate how a computational physics approach based on a discrete particle model can be employed for the visualization of magnetic field lines. This can be reg...
The highest fidelity representations of realistic real-world materials currently used comprise Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTF). The BTF is a six dimensional function dependi...
