Although the widespread use of gaming for leisure purposes has been well documented, the
use of games to support cultural heritage purposes, such as historical teaching and learning …

Ray tracing has long been a method of choice for off‐line rendering, but traditionally was too
slow for interactive use. With faster hardware and algorithmic improvements this has recently …

The most significant deficiency of most of today's interactive ray tracers is that they are
restricted to static walkthroughs. This restriction is due to the static nature of the acceleration …

Over the past few years, the powerful computation rates and high memory bandwidth of
GPUs have attracted efforts to run raytracing on GPUs. Our work extends Foley et al.'s GPU …

We present a highly parallel, linearly scalable technique of kd‐tree construction for ray
tracing of dynamic geometry. We use conventional kd‐tree compatible with the high …

A fast search algorithm capable of operating in multi-dimensional spaces is introduced. As a
sample application, we demonstrate its utility in the 2D and 3D maximum-likelihood position …

2. Description of the Related Art The process of rendering two dimensional images from
three dimensional Scenes is commonly referred to as image processing. As the modern …

Phylogenetic inference is considered to be one of the grand challenges in Bioinformatics
due to the immense computational requirements. RAxML is currently among the fastest and …

(57) ABSTRACT A graphics processor architecture provides for Scan conver sion and ray
tracing approaches to visible Surface determina tion as concurrent and separate processes …

Much progress has been made toward interactive ray tracing, but most research has focused
specifically on ray casting. A common approach is to use" packets" of rays to amortize cost …
