In the software industry, designers are forever trying to “improve” their products by adding ever more features to them, producing bloated software systems that are capable of...
Over the past decade, the steady growth rate of FPGA device capacities has enabled the development of multi-FPGA prototyping environments capable of implementing millions of logic...
The overhead of copying data through the central processor by a message passing protocol limits data transfer bandwidth. If the network interface directly transfers the user'...

Recursive subdivision schemes have been extensively used in computer graphics and scientific visualization for modeling smooth surfaces of arbitrary topology. Recursive subdivisi...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
