Zhang, Lixin | Design a DRAM backend for the impulse memory system | The Impulse Adaptable Memory System is a new memory system that exposes DRAM access patterns not seen in conventional memory systems. Impulse can generate huge number of small DRAM accesses, which will not be handled effectively by a conventional cache-line-size-access-oriented DRAM backend.

Carter, John B. | Design alternatives for shared memory multiprocessors | In this paper. we consider the design alternatives available for building the next generation DSM machine (e.g., the choice of memory architecture, network technology, and amount and location of per-node remote data cache). To investigate this design space, we have simulated six applications on a wi... | Shared memory multiprocessors | 1998 |

Fujimoto, Richard M.; Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | Design and evaluation of the rollback chip: special purpose hardware for time warp | The Time Warp mechanism offers an elegant approach to attacking difficult clock synchronization problems that arise in applications such as parallel discrete event simulation. However, because Time Warp relies on a lookahead and rollback mechanism to achieve widespread exploitation of parallelism, t... | Rollback chip; Time Warp mechanism; Clock synchronization; Parallel discrete event simulation | 1988 |

Jacobson, Hans | Design and validation of a simultaneous multi-threaded DLX processor | Modern day computer systems rely on two forms of parallelism to achieve high performance, parallelism between individual instructions of a program (ILP) and parallelism between individual threads (TLP).

Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | Design and verification of the rollback chip using HOP: a case study of formal methods applied to hardware design | The use of formal methods in hardware design improves the quality of designs in many ways: it promotes better understanding of the design; it permits systematic design refinement through the discovery of invariants; and it allows design verification (informal or formal). In this paper we illustrate ... | Rollback chip; Verification; HOP; Hardware design; RBC | 1990 |

Freier, Rodney; Thompson, William B. | Design-space exploration of most-recent-only communication using myrinet on SGI ccNUMA architectures | SGI's current ccNUMA multiprocessor architectures offer high scalability and performance without sacrificing the ease of use of simpler SMP systems. Although these systems also provide a standard PCI expansion bus, the bridging between PCI and SGI's ccNUMA architecture invalidates the assumptions ty... | Most-recent-only communication; Myrinet; SGI; Communications latencies | 1999 |

Freire, Juliana | Designing information-preserving mapping schemes for XML | An XML-to-relational mapping scheme consists of a procedure for shredding XML documents into relational databases, a procedure for publishing databases back as documents, and a set of constraints the databases must satisfy. In previous work, we discussed two notions of information preservation for m... | Losslessness; Validation; Mapping scheme; Edge++; LILO; Lossless Inlining; Lossless Outlining; XML Schema | 2005 |

Bruderlin, Beat | Detecting ambiguities: an optimistic approach to robustness problems in computational geometry | Computational geometry algorithms deal with geometric objects, usually represented by coordinates in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. Most efficient algorithms implement geometric operations as floating point arithmetic operations on the coordinates. Since floating point numbers can only approxima... | Ambiguities; Computational geometry; Robustness problems | 1990 |

Shirley, Peter S. | Direct Ray tracing of smoothed and displacement mapped triangles | We present an algorithm for ray tracing displacement maps that requires no additional storage over the base model. Displacement maps are rarely used in ray tracing due to the cost associated with storing and intersecting the displaced geometry. This is unfortunate because displacement maps allow the... | Ray tracing displacement maps | 2000 |

Thompson, William B.; Willemsen, Peter; Gooch, Amy A.; Creem-Regehr, Sarah Hope | Does the quality of the computer graphics matter when judging distances in visually immersive environments? | In the real world, people are quite accurate judging distances to locations in the environment, at least for targets resting on the ground plane and distances out to about 20m. Distance judgments in visually immersive environments are much less accurate. Several studies have now shown that in vis... | Visually immersive environments | 2002-12-05 |
