ZR: a 3D API transparent technology for chunk rendering
Authors: Emile Hsieh, Vladimir Pentkovski, Thomas Piazza
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

This paper presents ZR (Zone Rendering), a 3D graphics technology that addresses ever-increasing bandwidth requirements using chunk rendering technique, and at the same time solves 3D API compatibility issues commonly associated with chunk rendering graphics devices. We apply a pipeline serialization technique to handle the cases causing compatibility issues. However, excessive frequency of serializations may offset the performance advantage of ZR. In order to manage potential performance problems we developed software and hardware techniques to optimize ZR performance for most events that might cause the serialization. Comprehensive validation experiments were conducted for popular 3D applications to show that after the optimizations the residual impact of the serialization is very small. Finally, using the results of Intel&reg; 830 graphics, which implements ZR, we demonstrate that ZR provides significant 3D graphics performance improvement. This result is achieved within a limited bandwidth budget, and at the cost of modest micro-architectural changes to traditional graphics pipeline.

Supporting aggregation in fine grained software configuration management
Authors: Mark C. Chu-Carroll, James Wright, David Shields
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM SIGSOFT symposium on Foundations of software engineering (2002)

Fine-grained software configuration management offers substantial benefits for large-scale collaborative software development, enabling a variety of interesting and useful features including complexity management, support for aspect-oriented software development, and support for communication and coordination within software engineering teams, as described in [4]. However, fine granularity by itself is not sufficient to achieve these benefits. Most of the benefits of fine granularity result from the ability to combine fine-grained artifacts in various ways: supporting multiple overlapping organizations of program source by combining fine-grained artifacts into virtual source files (VSFs); supporting coordination by allowing developers to precisely mark the set of artifacts affected by a change; associating products from different phases of the development process; etc.In this paper, we describe how a general aggregation mechanism can be used to support the various functionality enabled by fine grained SCM. We present a set of requirements that an aggregation facility must provide in order to yield these benefits, and we provide a description of the implementation of such an aggregation system in our experimental SCM system.
A geometric constraint library for 3D graphical applications
Authors: Hiroshi Hosobe
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

Recent computer technologies have enabled fast high-quality 3D graphics on personal computers, and also have made the development of 3D graphical applications easier. However, most of such technologies do not sufficiently support layout and behavior aspects of 3D graphics. Geometric constraints are, in general, a powerful tool for specifying layouts and behaviors of graphical objects, and have been applied to 2D graphical user interfaces and specialized 3D graphics packages. In this paper, we present Chorus3D, a geometric constraint library for 3D graphical applications. It enables programmers to use geometric constraints for various purposes such as geometric layout, constrained dragging, and inverse kinematics. Its novel feature is to handle scene graphs by processing coordinate transformations in geometric constraint satisfaction. We demonstrate the usefulness of Chorus3D by presenting sample constraint-based 3D graphical applications.
Experiments with computer animation
Authors: Nicholas Negroponte, Paul Pangaro
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

Three generally accepted facts are:1. Computers are getting cheap and fast enough to do cost-effective graphics on line and in real time;2. The future of computer graphics is in raster scan;3. Computer animation is emerging as a volatile art form and as a medium for scientific communication.Concurrently, we find computer animation somewhat polluted and distorted by1. The illusionary immediacies of analog techniques;2. The line gestalt of computer output microfilm;3. The transformational paradigm of the 4 by 4 matrix.In contrast, this paper dwells on on-line, real-time, color rasterscan, digital techniques and associated videotapes. Accompanying illustrations present the specific application of a "veridical memory" approach to computer graphics, distinguished from other similar efforts by:1. A 90 nano-second, writable control store;2. Noncontiguous and variable bits per pixel;3. Minicomputer support of PL/1, LISP, and LOGO;4. Advanced graphical input techniques;5. Hardware priorities indigenous to cell animation;6. Production of color hard copy.Results indicate an opportunity for complex descriptions and displays1. In which the message is not the medium;2. Through which color assumes a new role;3. With which the user works without a typeable genre;4. About which our wildest fantasies offer only modest extrapolation.Inasmuch as our work on animation is just beginning, this paper does not take a rigorous posture. Instead, we submit a collage of output, classify some of our errors, and outline likely solutions.

The Fast Multipole Method I: Error Analysis and Asymptotic Complexity
Authors: Eric Darve
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

This paper is concerned with the application of the fast multipole method (FMM) to the Maxwell equations. This application differs in many aspects from other applications such as the N-body problem, Laplace equation, and quantum chemistry, etc. The FMM leads to a significant speed-up in CPU time with a major reduction in the amount of computer memory needed when performing matrix-vector products. This leads to faster resolution of scattering of harmonic plane waves from perfectly conducting obstacles. Emphasis here is on a rigorous mathematical approach to the problem. We focus on the estimation of the error introduced by the FMM and a rigorous analysis of the complexity (O(n log n)) of the algorithm. We show that error estimates reported previously are not entirely satisfactory and provide sharper and more precise estimates.
Comments on "transparent user-level process checkpoint and restore for migration" by Bozyigit and Wasiq
Authors: Felix Rauch, Thomas M. Stricker
Venue: ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review (2002)

The simple checkpointing and migration system for UNIX processes as described in the article of Bozyigit and Wasiq [1] can be improved in two ways: First by a technique to checkpoint and migrate applications without the need to recompile them and second by an alternative approach to precisely locate all the data segments of a process that need to be checkpointed. We fully acknowledge the difficulty to do checkpointing or even portable checkpointing for the general case of processes and do not claim to solve the many remaining problems with the simplistic checkpointing and migration approaches presented in the earlier article. Still we are aware of many systems and applications where a simple solution is extremely helpful once it also works with binaries.
Pricing Analysis for Merrill Lynch Integrated Choice
Authors: Stuart Altschuler, Donna Batavia, Jeff Bennett, Russ Labe, Bonnie Liao, Raj Nigam, Je Oh
Venue: Interfaces (2002)

In late 1998, Merrill Lynch and other full-service financial service firms were under assault. Electronic trading and the commoditization of trading threatened Merrill Lynch's value proposition -- to provide advice and guidance through a financial advisor. Management decided to offer investors more choices for doing business with Merrill Lynch. A cross-functional team evaluated alternative product and service structures and pricing and constructed models to assess individual client's behavior. The models showed that revenue at risk to Merrill Lynch ranged from $200 million to $1 billion. The resulting Integrated Choice strategy enabled Merrill Lynch to seize the marketplace initiative, changed the financial services landscape, and mitigated the revenue risk. As of year-end 2000, client assets reached $83 billion in the new offer, net new assets to the firm totaled $22 billion, and incremental revenue reached $80 million.

Minimization of a Large-Scale Quadratic Function Subject to a Spherical Constraint
Authors: D. C. Sorensen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

An important problem in linear algebra and optimization is the trust-region subproblem: minimize a quadratic function subject to an ellipsoidal or spherical constraint. This basic problem has several important large-scale applications including seismic inversion and forcing convergence in optimization methods. Existing methods to solve the trust-region subproblem require matrix factorizations, which are not feasible in the large-scale setting. This paper presents an algorithm for solving the large-scale trust-region subproblem that requires a fixed-size limited storage proportional to the order of the quadratic and that relies only on matrix-vector products. The algorithm recasts the trust-region subproblem in terms of a parameterized eigenvalue problem and adjusts the parameter with a superlinearly convergent iteration to find the optimal solution from the eigenvector of the parameterized problem. Only the smallest eigenvalue and corresponding eigenvector of the parameterized problem needs to be computed. The implicitly restarted Lanczos method is well suited to this subproblem.
Hybrid Recommender Systems: Survey and Experiments
Authors: Robin Burke
Venue: User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction (2002)

Recommender systems represent user preferences for the purpose of suggesting items to purchase or examine. They have become fundamental applications in electronic commerce and information access, providing suggestions that effectively prune large information spaces so that users are directed toward those items that best meet their needs and preferences. A variety of techniques have been proposed for performing recommendation, including content-based, collaborative, knowledge-based and other techniques. To improve performance, these methods have sometimes been combined in hybrid recommenders. This paper surveys the landscape of actual and possible hybrid recommenders, and introduces a novel hybrid, EntreeC, a system that combines knowledge-based recommendation and collaborative filtering to recommend restaurants. Further, we show that semantic ratings obtained from the knowledge-based part of the system enhance the effectiveness of collaborative filtering.

Decision, nonmonotonic reasoning and possibilistic logic
Authors: Salem Benferhat, Didier Dubois, Hélèe Fargier, Henri Prade
Venue: Logic-based artificial intelligence (2000)

The paper survey recent AI-oriented works in qualitative decision developed by the authors in the framework of possibility theory. Lottery-based and act-based axiomatics underlying pessimistic and optimistic criteria for decision under uncertainty are first briefly restated, when uncertainty and preferences are encoded with an ordinal scale. A logical machinery capable of computing optimal decisions in the sense of these criteria is presented. Then an approach to qualitative decision under uncertainty which does not require a commensurateness hypothesis between the uncertainty and the preference scales is proposed; this approach is closely related to nonmonotonic reasoning, but turns our to be ineffective for practical decision. Lastly, the modeling of preference as prioritized sets of goals, as sets of solutions reaching some given level of satisfaction, or in terms of possibilistic constraints is discussed briefly.
Branch-width and well-quasi-ordering in matroids and graphs
Authors: James F. Geelen, A. M. H. Gerards, Geoff Whittle
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B (2002)

We prove that a class of matroids representable over a fixed finite field and with bounded branch-width is well-quasi-ordered under taking minors. With some extra work, the result implies Robertson and Seymour's result that graphs with bounded tree-width (or equivalently, bounded branch-width) are well-quasi-ordered under taking minors. We will not only derive their result from our result on matroids, but we will also use the main tools for a direct proof that graphs with bounded branch-width are well-quasi-ordered under taking minors. This proof also provides a model for the proof of the result on matroids, with all specific matroid technicalities stripped off.
