An Analysis of Parallel Rendering Systems

Process algebraic modeling of authentication protocols for analysis of parallel multi-session executions

Many security protocols have the aim of authenticating one agent acting as initiator to another agent acting as responder and vice versa. Sometimes, the authentication fails because of executing several parallel sessions of a protocol, and because an agent may play both the initiator and responder role in parallel sessions. We take advantage of the notion of transition systems to specify authen...

An Introduction to Parallel Rendering

In computer graphics, rendering is the process by which an abstract description of a scene is converted to an image. When the scene is complex, or when high-quality images or high frame rates are required, the rendering process becomes computationally demanding. To provide the necessary levels of performance, parallel computing techniques must be brought to bear. Today, parallel hardware is rou...

Reliability Analysis of Three Elements Series and Parallel Systems under Time-varying Fuzzy Failure Rate

Reliability is the most important performance issue in the engineering design process but in the real world problems, there are limitations for using the conventional reliability. Fuzzy logic has proved to be effective in expressing uncertainties in different fields, including reliability engineering. In this paper, For both the series and parallel systems composed of three identical or differe...

Parallel Rendering with an Actor Model

This paper describes an application of autonomous concurrent objects (Actors) to parallel rendering. The resulting rendering system is shown to be both scalable and portable. A parallel rendering application based on Monte Carlo path tracing is constructed using programming abstractions deened by the Actor model. This application is demonstrated to scale to hundreds of computers with eeciencies...
