This paper presents a many-core visual computing architecture code named Larrabee, a new
software rendering pipeline, a manycore programming model, and performance analysis …

The Larrabee many-core visual computing architecture uses multiple in-order x86 cores
augmented by wide vector processor units, together with some fixed-function logic. This …

… This thesis represents a year of research in Pat Hanrahan’s graphics group. Pat encouraged
me to try my hand at research after I took his course on Image Synthesis. We quickly found …

In this paper, we characterize and analyze an increasingly popular style of programming for
the GPU called Persistent Threads (PT). We present a concise formal definition for this …

As we increase the number of cores on a processor die, the on-chip cache hierarchies that
support these cores are getting larger, deeper, and more complex. As a result, non-uniform …

The paper deals with potentialities of various up-to-date software development tools for
making use of graphic processor (GPU) parallel computing resources. Examples are given to …

To effectively utilize an ever increasing number of processors during parallel rendering,
hardware and software designers rely on sophisticated load balancing strategies. While …

Current generation of computing platforms is embracing multi-core and many-core processors
to improve the overall performance of the system, meeting at the same time the stringent …

Programming on a GPU has been made considerably easier with the introduction of Virtual
Memory features, which support common pointer-based semantics between the CPU and the …
