Current real-time graphics architecture lacks a method for procedural geometry generation inside the GPU, so that the limited bus bandwidth doesn’t get involved. This document describes the conceptual design of a user-programmable geometry generator unit. This unit is capable of generating new geometry (vertices and indices) by processing a set of input data. This new geometry can be passed thr...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

Sequence alignment is a common and often repeated task in molecular biology. The need for speeding up this treatment comes from the rapid growth rate of biological sequence databases. In this paper we present a new approach to high performance biological sequence database scanning on graphics processing units. Using modern graphics processing units for high performance computing is facilitated ...
