In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

A common task in computer graphics is the map** of digital high dynamic range images to
low dynamic range display devices such as monitors and printers. This task is similar to the …

Over the last three decades, higher CPU performance has been achieved almost exclusively
by raising the CPU's clock rate. Today, the resulting power consumption and heat …

Research on realtime ray tracing has recently made tremendous advances. Algorithmic
improvements together with optimized software implementations already allow for interactive …

Due to its practical significance and its high degree of parallelism, ray tracing has always
been an attractive target for research in parallel processing. With recent advances in both …

With the advancements in realtime ray tracing and new global illumination algorithms we are

This paper describes the CloudLight system for computing indirect lighting asynchronously
on an abstracted, computational “cloud,” in support of real-time rendering for interactive 3D …

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for computing indirect
lighting in a cloud network. In operation, one or more scenes for rendering are identified …

Interactive ray tracing in a cluster environment requires paying close attention to the
constraints of a loosely coupled distributed system. To render large scenes interactively …

'Kilauea'is a revolutionary parallel renderer developed at Square USA. The goal of the R&D
effort was to create a renderer which can compute global illumination on extremely complex …
