Design and Implementation of I/O Servers Using the Device File Boundary

This paper presents a new technique, which we call depth-preserving reflection mapping, to render mirror-like reflections on planar surfaces in constant time. It is a hybrid solution which combines geometry-based rendering and imagebased rendering into a two-pass mirror reflection rendering approach. The technique extends the traditional reflection mapping to preserve depth per texel and uses f...

work on African primates. Field stations at three sites in Tanzania, two in Congo, and one each in Gabon and Guinea will be supported. Work on the ecology and behaviour of Borneo orangutans is also part of the programme. Apart from the work on primates, the centre is also active with many other species, including whales and dolphins. With Japan’s continuing controversial whaling operations in t...
