The increasing programability and the high computational power of Graphical Processing Units (GPU) make them attractive to general purpose programming. However, taking full benefit of this execution environment is a challenging task. One of these challenges stem from divergences, a phenomenon that occurs when threads that execute in lock-step are forced to take different program paths due to branches...
Realistic rain scenes animation is a complex task due to both the rendering and fluid dynamics simulation issues. The associated phenomena, like rain strokes rendering, splashing of raindrops and the simulation of the generated surface flow are known difficulties in this area. This paper describes a computational framework to incorporate these elements in a scene containing a digital terrain model...
Fault tolerance is a desirable feature in distributed high-performance systems, since applications tend to run for long periods of time and faults become more likely as the number of nodes in the system increase. However, most distributed environments lack any fault tolerant features, since they tend to be hard to implement and use, and often hurt performance dramatically. In this paper we discuss...
