Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Matrix-vector products (mat-vecs) form the core of iterative methods used for solving dense linear systems. Often, these systems arise in the solution of integral equations used i...
One of the main techniques used by software renderers to produce stunningly realistic images is programmable shading—executing an arbitrarily complex program to compute the colo...

Physically-based modeling has been used in the past to support a variety of interactive modeling tasks including free-form surface design, mechanism design, constrained drawing, a...
A key advantage of scientific workflow systems over traditional scripting approaches is their ability to automatically record data and process dependencies introduced during workf...
