Reducing graphics programming effort through structured support
Authors: Richard A. Lewallen
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

This paper describes a method for structuring graphics support which simplifies the programming of interactive applications, while improving their portability by providing a device-independent interface. The primary objective is to ease the task of the application programmer in developing applications which use interaction and graphics. Common graphics functions which are used by several applications are generalized and defined in terms of transition tables. User actions become inputs, system wait points become states, and system responses are pointed to by table outputs. A suitable modification is applied to each of the generalized graphics functions to tailor it to be used by a particular application.

Analyzing energy friendly steady state phases of dynamic application execution in terms of sparse data structures
Authors: E. G. Daylight, S. Wuytack, C. Ykman-Couvreur, F. Catthoor
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

In the past decades, data structure analysis was mainly done at a high level of abstraction in the computer science community. For instance, choosing a linked list as a data structure as opposed to an array for a specific situation, was mainly motivated from a performance point of view under the implicit assumption that the computer platform (that had to run the software) consisted out of one monolithical, physical memory. In the context of mobile, embedded devices, energy consumption is as important as performance. In addition to this, the assumption of one monolithical memory is outdated for many (if not all) current-day platforms! Clearly, there is a need to improve the choices that are made during data structure analysis given specific knowledge of the memory hierarchy of the platform under investigation. We show how memory related energy consumption can heavily be reduced by taking into account the access behaviour of the application on the one hand and the available on-chip and off-chip memory space on the other hand. We do this by exploiting the sparseness that is present in onesteady state of the data structure under investigation. Analytical results show that energy reductions of a factor of 8.7 are feasible in comparison to common data structure implementations. We trade these gains off with on-chip memory space consumption of a custom memory architecture.
The Web of Text and the Web of God, 1st edition
Authors: Alan C. Purves
Venue:  (1998)

:Technology's influence upon our sense of self and our consciousness of the world around us has been a subject of increasing concern in recent years. Offering a provocative new perspective, this deeply personal book by the late Alan C. Purves, renowned literacy scholar and English educator, embraces as its focus the electronic medium known as hypertext. Elucidating vital connections between the written word and how human beings think, communicate, and worship, Purves thoughtfully examines the vast implications of hypertext for our society's conception of literacy and our philosophical and spiritual lives. An erudite, engaging, and far-reaching investigation of how computers have affected our conception of ourselves as literate, social creatures, this volume will be read with pleasure by students and scholars of education, communication, philosophy, and religion, as well as interested general readers.
Searching for oil through an interactive graphic terminal
Authors: A. C. Reid
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1974)

To provide greater speed and flexibility in processing geophysical exploration data, a unique interactive graphic terminal has been developed. Applications include seismic data display with zoom and translation, frequency analysis and filtering, and data correction and modification. Directly interfaced to an IBM 370, model 165 computer, this terminal provides instant access to central computational capabilities, coupled with comprehensive display facilities at the terminal itself. Through the terminal, the user views his results dynamically during processing and iteratively modifies control parameters until those results are optimum.

Parallel communicating grammar systems with bounded resources
Authors: Erzsébet Csuhaj-Varjú, György Vaszil
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In this paper we study size properties of context-free returning parallel communicating grammar systems (PC grammar systems). We show that for each context-free returning PC grammar system an equivalent system of this type can be constructed, where the total number of symbols used for describing a component can be bounded by a reasonably small constant. Since context-free returning PC grammar systems determine the class of recursively enumerable languages, the result also demonstrates that the recursively enumerable language class can be economically described in terms of parallel communicating grammar systems.

Big Issues: The Examined Life in a Digital Age
Authors: Mike Malone
Venue:  (2001)

:The nation's leading opinion makers converge to address technology and its impact on society and business The Forbes ASAP annual Big Issue is the most important magazine special in all of high technology. It has been hailed as "the last great bastion of the essay" by author Stanley Crouch. It is historian Stephen Ambrose's favorite publication to write for, and Tom Wolfe has made it the home for more of his original essays than any other publication in the last decade. Each of the five Big Issues has tackled a burning social question as it relates to technology, including the new meaning of work, the changing nature of time in the digital age, the great convergence (work/play, public/private, science/religion), and what is true. And each issue brings together the best writers and thinkers in search of answers. Big Issue contributors have come from business (Bill Gates, Andrew Grove), science (E. O. Wilson, Stephen Jay Gould), literature (John Updike, Reynolds Price, Elmore Leonard), history (John Keegan, Jacques Barzun), politics (Gore Vidal, Peggy Noonan), sports (Muhammad Ali), and religion (the Dalai Lama). Sixty-three of the best essays from the first five Big Issues are complied in this new collection, with an original foreword by longtime Big Issue fan Peter Jennings.

An Integrated Systolic Array Design for Video Compression
Authors: Pol Lin Tai, Chii Tung Liu, Jia Shung Wang
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2002)

This paper presents an integrated systolic array design for implementing full-search block matching, 2-D discrete wavelet transform, and full-search vector quantization on the same VLSI architecture. These functions are the prime components in video compression and take a great amount of computation. To meet the real-time application requirements, many systolic array architectures are proposed for individually performing one of those functions. However, these functions contain similar computational procedure. The matrix-vector product forms of the three functions are quite analogous. After extracting the common computation component, we design an integrated one-dimensional systolic array that can perform aforementioned three functions. The proposed architecture can efficiently perform three typical functions&colon; (1) the full-search block matching with block of size 16 &times; 16 and the search are from &minus;8 to 7&semi; (2) the 2-D 2 level Harr transform with block of size 8 &times; 8&semi; and (3) the full-search vector quantization with input vector of size 2 &times; 2. A utilization rate of 100&percnt; to 97&percnt; is achieved in the course of executing full-search block matching and full-search vector quantization. When it comes to perform 2-D discrete wavelet transform, the utilization rate is about 32&percnt;. The proposed integrated architecture has lowered hardware cost and reduced hardware structure. It befits the VLSI implementation for video/image compression applications.
