Shirley, Peter S.; Parker, Steven G. | Towards interactive global illumination effects via sequential Monte Carlo adaptation | This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context while handling general single-bounce global illumination effects. The radiance estimates computed during the rendering process are cached in an adaptive per... | Ray tracing; Illumination; Monte Carlo methods | 2008 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Optimizing communication and capacity in a 3D stacked reconfigurable cache hierarchy | Cache hierarchies in future many-core processors are expected to grow in size and contribute a large fraction of overall processor power and performance. In this paper, we postulate a 3D chip design that stacks SRAM and DRAM upon processing cores and employs OS-based page coloring to minimize hori... | Multi-core processors; Cache and memory hierarchy; Non-uniform cache architecture (NUCA); Page coloring; On-chip networks; SRAM/DRAM cache reconfiguration | 2009-02 |

Thomas, Spencer W. | Set operations on sculptured solids | A general method is presented for performing Boolean set operations on solids represented by a sculptured surface boundary model. The method is developed first for solids with closed boundary surfaces. It is then shown to apply also to "partially bounded" solids, which have incompletely specified b... | Set operations; Sculptured solids; Sculptured surface; Boundary model | 1987 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Dynamically tunable memory hierarchy | The widespread use of repeaters in long wires creates the possibility of dynamically sizing regular on-chip structures. We present a tunable cache and translation lookaside buffer (TLB) hierarchy that leverages repeater insertion to dynamically trade off size for speed and power consumption on a per... | Microarchitecture; High performance microprocessors; Reconfigurable architectures; Energy and performance of on-chip caches; Translation lookaside buffer (TLB); Tunable cache | 2003-10 |

Riloff, Ellen M. | Automatically generating extraction patterns from untagged text | Many corpus-based natural language processing systems rely on text corpora that have been manually annotated with syntactic or semantic tags. In particular, all previous dictionary construction systems for information extraction have used an annotated training corpus or some form of annotated input... | Information extraction; Automatically generating; Extraction patterns; Untagged text; Corpus-based; AutoSlog-TS; AutoSlog system; MUC-4; Dictionary construction | 1996 |

Subrahmanyam, P.A. | An algebraic formulation of seitz's weak conditions for self timed circuits | Two fairly intuitive conditions are given that serve to algebraically characterize Seitz's "weak conditions" for self timed circuits. It is shown that these two conditions embody the 12 temporal logic conditions (developed b y Owicki and Malachi) which are intended to express both the weak condition... | Seitz's weak conditions; Self-timed circuits | 1982 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Power-efficient approaches to reliability | Radiation-induced soft errors (transient faults) in computer systems have increased significantly over the last few years and are expected to increase even more as we move towards smaller transistor sizes and lower supply voltages. Fault detection and recovery can be achieved through redundancy. St... | Radiation-induced; Soft errors; Transient faults; Redundant thread; Trailing thread; Power consumption | 2005 |
