There were two themes to this season, and both were on display through the D-backs' last week of games. A 2-5 week brought the truly average D-backs to a truly average .500 record (and to a 16th place finish in the ESPN Power Rankings), and a couple of extra-inning games were thrown in for good measure.
The extra innings brought the season total to 80 extras — just 2 short of the all-time record of 82, set by the 1918 Washington Senators. But the Senators played a shorter season. In terms of total innings, the 1964 Yankees played 1,537 innings (in 164 games) — short of the 1,538-inning season the D-backs just completed. In other words, the D-backs may not have claimed the record for most extra innings in a season — but they did become the team to have played the most innings in a regular season, all time. That's not nothing.
The Longest Season felt longer, of course, because there weren't too many highs and lows. Sure, we had more than our share of comeback wins (42, to 33 blown leads) and walkoffs (13, to 7 walkoff losses), but the team never put up a streak of wins or losses longer than 5 games.
In fact, the team only put up winning streaks of 4 games or more 5 times, and losing streaks of at least 4 games just four times. The reason we shouldn't be surprised about that: this season, it was like most games were decided by a coin flip. Just by run differential, we could have expected the team to finish 81-81 or 80-82; Arizona's -10 run differential was second-closest to zero in the sport (Angels, -4). No other NL team had a run differential within less than 30 from zero, either positive or negative.
With just one regular season game left to play (Rays/Rangers), the Diamondbacks finish 14th in the majors in pitching staff ERA. The total WAR put up by position players (22.0) also ranks 14th in the sport.
Last week, I looked at the possible 2014 roster in the outfield and infield. The team's performance this season pretty much spells out the conclusion — Arizona is close to average nearly everywhere on the field, and the exceptions generally have in-house obstacles to going out and getting someone new (we have to wait for Cody Ross, to pick a shortstop, and to figure out if Davidson will start enough to justify a spot at third).
Later this week, I'll take a look at the rotation and the bullpen.
Around the interwebs in the last week:
- Be sure to check out Nick Piecoro's year end postmortem with lots and lots of info from Kirk Gibson and Kevin Towers. It's a must read. Saturday's dominating Dan Haren start led Piecoro to a bunch of Haren thoughts, as well.
- Zach Buchanan at azcentral.com published a notebook yesterday worth checking out. He notes that the bullpen finished the season strong (as Jeff Wiser did in late August), and that Cody Ross's recovery has been encouraging so far. The Gibson birthday story in there is pretty hilarious.
- Also from azcentral.com: Aaron Hill won't require surgery, as his hand miraculously healed while he was playing the last two months. He's 80% there. Good news, as we just need Hill to keep doing whatever he's doing. Also check out this slideshow revisiting the 2009 draft.
- Dan Bickley wants Gibson to show more fire.
- John Baragona put up his top 100 prospect list at AZ Snake Pit.
- Jim McLennan took the Stake Pit show on the road, and offered his thoughts from San Diego.
- Thomas Lynch at Venom Strikes guarantees the return of Willie Bloomquist. I can pretty much guarantee he won't be back, barring a trade of Chris Owings or Didi Gregorius — Willie would be fourth on the depth chart at SS, 2B, and LF. Willie had a good season in his limited time on the roster, but he's been about 40% below average as a hitter for his career. Bringing him back makes little sense.
- Lynch also notes that Martin Prado improved as the season went on. I took a stab at explaining how Prado turned it around in a piece earlier this month.
- I missed this last week: a new Diamondbacks team photo.
- Baseball Prospectus disclosed their voting for offseason awards ($), with Paul Goldschmidt coming in second for NL MVP. I am quietly expecting a 3rd-place finish, despite Goldy's very strong finish to the season, but this could be a dynamic that repeats itself in the real voting: Goldy finished second despite getting less first-place votes (1) than Clayton Kershaw (2). Andrew McCutchen has a stranglehold on the award now, which maybe lessens the appeal of voting for Kershaw at all. Maybe Goldy will show up second on more ballots, at the end of the day.
Inside the 'Zona isn't going anywhere this offseason — Jeff and I will still be posting regularly. There's lots to analyze from this season, and Kevin Towers rarely fails to make things interesting.

The long road from victim to survivor
Were there other miscarriages?
"Yes, caused by the beatings. But when I got pregnant with my daughter, as soon as I told him, he said, 'You're going to do the same thing you did before.' I said, 'No, I'm not, not this time. I've read too much. I know too much. This is a real child.'"
Even when the girl, Mahak Jovanna, was born, Kathy says her husband paid little attention to the child and called her "your daughter."
Beginning in the late '90s, Kathy and her husband traveled back and forth to Iran, six months here, six months there. She taught English over there and was accepted by her husband's family, or seemed to be.
In 2005, her husband was stricken with cancer. She managed to keep from him the fact that it was terminal because she knew he wouldn't be able to handle it. She decided to take him home to die.
When the three of them landed in Tehran, she saw for the first time how grasping and mean her in-laws could be. She said they took possession of her sick husband and turned him against his wife and daughter. They convinced him that Kathy had poisoned him. They made demands that she surrender the deed to his house, his car and other possessions. It was clear to her that the family wanted her husband's property and would fight dirty to get it.
Looking back, did you love your husband?
Would you now?
"If he came in the room right now, I would not want him to touch me. I would not want him around. I would like to be able to say something to him. I would say, 'Why did you let (your family) hurt your daughter?"
What did they do to you and Mahak?
Kathy absorbs the question, sighs and begins to recall wounds that refuse to heal. I cannot examine her memory or talk to her late husband's family, as I would like to, but something stabbed her soul, and perhaps it was this.
"When they came to our home to take him away, they put him in a wheelchair and headed toward the elevator. My daughter, she went to him, and said, 'Bubba,' which is their word for father, she said, 'Bubba, I love you,' and kissed him on the cheek. He did not respond, and the whole family pushed her back and took him away. Two hours later, they called for his legal papers.
"The next morning we went to his mother's house, where we had been welcomed many times. We went in. There was his brother, whom I had known for over 20 years. He said, 'Where are you going?' I said, 'I'm going to see my husband.' He hit me and said, 'No, you're not.' He threw me up against the wall. All the women (of the family) just watched.
"I fell on the floor. My daughter went to grab her uncle. He slapped her, broke her finger and choked her. I was on the floor. Nobody was helping me.

|Veterans Workshop Announces Blind US Veterans to Help Deaf US Veterans Make Phone Calls in New National Relay Service
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Hilary Snyder
|Thursday, 28 February 2013 10:05
The Veterans Workshop announces that training of blind veteran relay operators begins March 4th, with six Blind Oklahoma Veterans training on a Google+ platform to make phone calls for Deaf Veterans.
Washington, DC, February 27, 2013
Imagine for one minute you are deaf and you are a veteran of the United States Armed Forces. You can't hear anything because an IED has left you deaf. You want to call your mom at home and wish her a "Happy Birthday", but that task is next to impossible. Maybe you want to call your daughter at college and wish her well on her exams, but again, that task is too difficult. But now, with the help of the Veterans Workshop, all of that is about to change. A core group of Blind veterans from the state of Oklahoma are in training starting on March 4th with a mission. They are learning how to be "relay operators", where they can actually make relay phone calls for the veteran who has lost their hearing. http://www.VeteransRelay.com
With funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program (VR&E) of Oklahoma City and the State of Oklahoma, Department of Rehabilitation Services, six Blind veterans are embarking on a training that will change the way that deaf veterans communicate.
Ken Coppinger, lead instructor for the training says "These veterans are my brothers, and teaching them how to use Google plus hangout technology to assist deaf veterans in communication is not a job to me, it's a mission".
One Blind Veteran is 90 Year Old, WWII Veteran Emory Finefrock - a Navy veteran who served in the Pacific. When asked why he has requested to join this training, Emory said, "These are fellow veterans, and if I can help just one, then I will have done my job."
The Veterans Workshop, a national veteran's charity that has programs to teach Blind, Deaf and Paralyzed veterans, has developed a unique and challenging work assignment for the tens of thousands of Blind American veterans who have an unemployment in the low 90% range. This initial group of blind veterans is excited about the training and the opportunities it will bring to them.
About the Veterans Workshop: With offices in Rhode Island and Washington, DC, the Veterans Workshop has developed unique training programs for a subset of the disabled veterans community to include blind, deaf and paralyzed veterans. Training for Blind veterans is underway, with training for Deaf and Paralyzed veterans expected in early fall.

Based on the question what is, in our opinion, the best stuff in bike-movies TRAILVOLUTION is a movie about trailriding. TRAILVOLUTION shows different types of trails, starting from the "typical" bike-trail in the woods and ending up in riding parks and former industrial sites, believing that at last every piece of dirt you touch with your tires is a part of your trail and that everything has the potential to become a trail for biking.
TRAILVOLUTION can be seen as some kind of experiment, trying to figure out how far you can get in producing a bike-movie when having zero budget but a crew of motivated friends and a little support from a local bike shop.
Our aim is to produce beautiful images making you want to go out for a ride and putting a smile in your face on each of these rainy winter afternoons.

[0001] The present invention relates to networked digital consumer appliances, such as television settop boxes, and more particularly to apparatus and methods for automatically configuring such appliances for operation within any one of multiple network environments.
[0002] The communication of digital cable services from program providers to end-users is accomplished through several steps. The first involves transmission of the digitally encoded services from broadcast service providers to cable service provider facilities. The second step involves manipulating video and audio data by the digital cable service provider using head-end equipment at their facility. The final step involves transmission of digital information to the end-user via a coaxial cable and decoding the transmission at the consumers' site. Head-end equipment at a cable operator facility provides received programs on specific channels that are broadcast to customers over copper cable and/or fiber optic cable, typically via hybrid fiber-cable (HFC) distribution plants. A settop box located at the customer facility tunes and decodes incoming broadcasts. The settop boxes tune to a desired channel frequency and modulate the received signal onto an unused television channel (usually channel 3 or 4). An example of such a settop box is the Model DCT 2000 manufactured by the Broadband Communications Sector of Motorola, Inc., Horsham, Pa., U.S.A.
[0003] Firmware and application software provided within the settop box performs the functions of booting the settop system, displaying user-accessible software functions, and displaying menus for program guides. Consumer products, such as audio/video receivers and DVD players also contain software code for feature implementation. Settop cable television decoders may be designed to work with a number of different cable television protocols. Each environment (e.g., each different cable network) may require different operation and communication parameters, which may, in turn, require a software or firmware code change for proper functioning and for feature implementation. While current state-of-the-art settop interactive digital terminals, such as the DCT-2000, are delivered from the factory with firmware and application software code capable of tuning digital and analog signals received over a particular cable network, code changes to allow support of alternate network protocols require changing such code. In instances where the cable service provider supports the same protocols used by the factory, this process may be performed over the radio-frequency (RF) transmission medium and stored in electrically programmable non-volatile memory within the settop product. When the factory-installed protocol is not supported, any code upgrade might require shipment of the unit to a service facility for such a code change. For the case where software or firmware changes can be accomplished through the RF transmission medium, the RF-transmission protocols between the network and the settop device must match, allowing communication to be established between a controller at the head-end facility and the settop device. In instances where the settop is incapable of communicating with the head-end because of incompatibility between the communication protocols, it would be advantageous to enable the settop to be easily reconfigured to allow such communication. It would be further advantageous if such reconfiguration were provided automatically. Still further, it would be advantageous to provide a network appliance, such as a settop, that can be automatically configured upon boot-up to work in any network to which the appliance is presently connected. In this manner, a generic network appliance could be provided, that does not require connection to a specific network, such as a particular cable television system.
[0004] The present invention provides a software code configurable digital network appliance having the aforementioned and other advantages.
[0005] The present invention provides a software-code configurable digital appliance designed for operating in any one of a variety of different network environments, such as different digital cable or satellite television networks. In accordance with the invention, the digital appliance includes a storage component for storing alternative versions of firmware and/or application program code. It also contains a processing component for selecting an appropriate version of firmware and/or application program code, depending upon predetermined criteria relating to the network in which the appliance is deployed. The selected version is loaded into an operating component of the digital appliance to enable the appliance to operate within the particular network.
[0006] The digital appliance may be a television settop box that interfaces with a subscription television system. Various versions of firmware and application software code are stored during manufacture of the appliance and are adapted to enable the settop to be deployed in any of a plurality of incompatible subscription television systems.
[0007] The digital appliance selects an appropriate version of firmware and/or software in response to input from the particular subscription television system to which the appliance is connected. At system initialization, rudimentary program code, supplied in non-volatile memory, permits initialization of the processing component. A configuration process is initiated that can optionally work in conjunction with information supplied through a user interface, to select the appropriate firmware and/or software version to load into the operating component of the appliance. Loading of the selected firmware and/or software results in proper operation of the appliance in conjunction with the network to which is it coupled.
[0008] In the event that the network to which the appliance is coupled is not supported by the available versions of firmware and/or software, the operating component can optionally be provided with rudimentary default code to provide at least a basic operation. Alternatively, one of the available versions can comprise code that, when loaded into the operating component, will enable the appliance to achieve at least a rudimentary communication with the network. Once such rudimentary communication is established, the network can provide new code to the appliance, enabling more sophisticated communication and/or further functionality.
[0009] Corresponding methods are also provided.

[0011]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the DCP, schematically depicting a firmware/application software switch in accordance with the invention; and
[0012]FIG. 3 is a flowchart indicating the operation of a firmware/application software selection algorithm in accordance with the invention.
[0013] A preferred embodiment of an apparatus and method for enabling digital consumer network appliances to operate within different network environments is described. The embodiment should not be construed as a constraint on the use of the disclosed invention, but rather as an example of one use thereof.
[0014] In a broadband cable or satellite television system, various services, including scheduled television programming, pay-per-view (PPV), video-on-demand (VOD), Internet access, and the like are provided to end-users. These services are transmitted from broadcast service providers to cable or satellite service provider facilities where head-end equipment at the cable or satellite service provider facility manipulates the received video and audio data and transmits these signals to the end-user via coaxial and/or fiber optic cable or via a satellite downlink. At the end-user location, the signals are received by, for example, an enhanced digital terminal (sometimes referred to as an enhanced settop box or a digital convergence platform (DCP)) that includes a settop decoder and other audio/video components in one system. An enhanced digital terminal supports multiple functions including tuning and decoding incoming broadcasts and playing selections from alternate digital video sources such as DVD. The enhanced terminal provides output signals at baseband and/or on an RF carrier having a frequency corresponding to an unused television channel (usually television channel 3 or 4).
[0015]FIG. 1 shows the basic components of a cable television system. It should be appreciated that other communication network systems are well known in the art, and the invention can be adapted to function with such other systems as well. At a program provider facility 2, analog and digital video and audio signals supplied by broadcast service providers are sampled, quantized, and compressed into representative digital signals. After encryption, these signals are packetized and multiplexed onto intermediate frequency (IF) carrier frequencies and transmitted to a cable service provider facility. At this location, they are frequency shifted and data is subsequently decrypted, error-corrected, filtered and modulated onto an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) carrier frequency by head-end equipment 4. The digital signals are communicated to a population of user terminals 6 (e.g., enhanced digital terminals) at the end-user location. Such terminals typically include settop decoders, where television signals are decoded, decrypted and demodulated for viewing by the end-user (e.g., cable subscriber) on a television 8. Two components used in the head-end system by the cable service provider facilitate access to program information and end-user access control. A Digital Out-of-Band (OOB) modulator 10 (such as a Quadrature Phase Shift Keyed (QPSK) modulator) provides program and access control information to end-users. Such program information can comprise, for example, broadcast service guides (e.g., electronic program guides, often referred to as "EPGs"). Access control information includes encryption keys and authorization information for broadcast service access control. The supplied channel guide allows a user to reference desired broadcast programs and select the corresponding display channel.
[0016] A Return Path Demodulator (RPD) 12 functions to receive and demodulate, for example, PPV requests from settop decoders at end-user locations. In the present embodiment, the settop decoder is part of an enhanced digital terminal 6, although it can be provided as a separate component. The terminal combines a Motorola DCT-2000 like settop with a DVD/CD player and an A/V receiver/amplifier. The A/V receiver/amplifier provides baseband output to television 8 and speakers 9. Alternatively, an RF output could be provided to the television, as well known in the art. Other outputs from the terminal 6 can include, e.g., coaxial, component video, and S-video (YC). It is envisioned that future systems may comprise fiber optic cables instead of electrical baseband or RF implementations. Non-volatile ("NV") memory is also provided in the terminal 6 to store firmware and/or software, as discussed in greater detail below.
[0017] The selection of application software and firmware for an enhanced digital terminal, such as terminal 6, is the focus of the present invention. In accordance with the invention, a software and firmware selection portion 14 is provided for the terminal 6 as shown in FIG. 2. The components that make up such an apparatus include a settop component 16 similar in design to the DCT-2000 from Motorola, Inc., a microprocessor unit 20, a front panel assembly 22, and a non-volatile memory component 18. It should be appreciated that FIG. 2 represents an improved implementation of the enhanced digital terminal of FIG. 1, and that only the new features are illustrated in FIG. 2. The settop 16, memory 18, and processor 20 of FIG. 2 correspond to the settop, NV memory and processor of terminal 6 illustrated in FIG. 1. The other components of terminal 6 are not illustrated in FIG. 2.
[0018] Various versions of firmware and application software are loaded into nonvolatile memory 18 at the factory. These various versions of firmware and application software are designed to be applicable in a variety of different cable-network environments. The software and firmware selection portion of the enhanced digital terminal operates following an initial power-on self-boot by enabling a configuration process that may include user interaction. The function of the software and firmware selection portion 14 is to determine which version of the factory or warehouse installed firmware and/or application program code is required for a particular environment (i.e., a particular network), and to transfer that code to the settop portion of the device 16 from the non-volatile memory 18. The MPU 20 controls the flow of information and controls the selection of software code from the non-volatile memory component. The front panel 22 acts as the user-interface for displaying selected information to the user and allowing input by the user. Alternatively, the user interface can comprise an on-screen display (OSD) generated by the settop on the television display. The technology for providing OSD functionality is well known in the art, and is used, for example, to generate set-up menus for video components such as DVD players, VCRs and the like directly on a user's television screen.
[0019] If the user were to operate the terminal 6 in an alternate, non-compatible cable-network environment, the configuration process would be repeated and applicable firmware and application program code would be recalled from non-volatile memory and would replace the versions of firmware and software previously loaded into the settop portion 16. In this manner, a single terminal model can be used in a variety of different, incompatible television systems. Thus, if a user moves to a new location with a different cable system, the terminal can be easily configured for this system. Moreover, the same model terminal can be sold to different subscription television operators for distribution to end users, even when the television systems of the different operators use different communication protocols or when the television systems are otherwise incompatible.
[0020] A flowchart describing the method of firmware and application code selection used by the terminal is shown in FIG. 3. The process steps can be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination thereof, as will appreciated by those skilled in the art. The end-result of the process is to transfer a software code object and/or data, pre-loaded into non-volatile memory of the terminal, to the settop portion of the device in order to perform a firmware and/or application installation or change. Moreover, software images can be pre-loaded into the non-volatile memory of the terminal and transferred to the settop portion to enable at least rudimentary communications to be made with different incompatible networks. Different software images can be provided for the different networks. Once such rudimentary communication is made when the terminal is connected to a particular network, the network operator can take advantage of the communication to download more comprehensive firmware and/or operating software to the terminal, enabling enhanced functionality and/or full communication ability within that particular network.
[0021] The process illustrated in FIG. 3 commences at box 30, when full power (as opposed to standby power) is applied to the enhanced digital terminal. At box 32, a determination is made as to whether this is the initial power up a consumer premises. Although the configuration process will normally only need to be run the first time a power-up occurs at a new consumer premises, it may also be run after a power interruption, e.g., after a power outage or when the terminal is unplugged from AC power. Alternatively, a flag can be set in non-volatile memory after the initial configuration, so that the configuration process does not have to be re-run after a power outage or other power interruption.
[0022] If the current power-up is the initial power up, configuration firmware that is pre-stored in the terminal at the factory or warehouse is run, as indicated at box 34. The configuration firmware determines the environment in which the terminal is currently running, as indicated at box 36. The environment is, e.g., the cable television system to which the terminal is currently connected. The environment is detected, for example, by reading a message contained in signals received from the network to which the terminal is coupled, by user interaction (e.g., generating an on-screen display requesting the user to enter a code identifying the cable provider), or by any other suitable means as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Once the environment has been determined, a determination is made at box 38 as to whether the necessary firmware and/or application code for that environment has been pre-loaded into the terminal non-volatile memory 18 (FIG. 2). If so, this code is loaded into the operating portion of the terminal, e.g., into the settop box portion thereof, as indicated at box 40. A test can then be performed at box 42 to verify that the proper code has been successfully loaded. If not, the program loops back to box 34 so that the configuration process can be run again. Otherwise, the terminal is operated using the properly loaded code, as indicated at box 44.
[0023] Once the configuration has been completed by loading the appropriate code for the network to which the consumer appliance (e.g., enhanced digital terminal) is connected, future power-ups of the appliance will skip the configuration program. This is indicated at box 32, where power-ups subsequent to the initial power up cause the program to jump to box 42 and subsequently, box 44 for full operation of the appliance. In the event that the necessary firmware and/or application code for the consumer appliance was not pre-loaded into memory 18 for the particular environment to which the appliance is coupled, the configuration process will detect this at box 38. In this event, the appliance can be run in a basic mode using default operation firmware and/or application code pre-loaded into memory 18, or an error message will be provided to the consumer (e.g., via a display on the appliance or a television on-screen display), indicating that the appliance cannot be run on the present network. If a default operation is provided, it will typically only include rudimentary features. As an alternative, a software image can be pre-loaded into memory 18 for allowing the appliance to achieve at least rudimentary communication with the network. Once such communication is established, more functional code can be downloaded to the appliance from the network to provide greater compatibility and/or functionality.
[0024] It should be appreciated that the flowchart of FIG. 3 is only an example, and that other routines can be used to initialize a consumer appliance in accordance with the invention.
[0025] It should now be understood that the invention provides apparatus and methods for installing and/or upgrading firmware and/or application code within a digital consumer appliance, such as an enhanced digital terminal which includes television settop functionality, that does not require access to an external communications channel. It accomplishes this by storing a variety of versions of the necessary code within a non-volatile memory that can be accessed freely by the appliance. In this manner, the same appliance can be configured for use in any one of a variety of different environments, such as different subscription television networks, local area networks, wide area networks, wireless networks, and the like. Thus, an appliance from one manufacturer can be adapted for use in a network based on another manufacturer's hardware, software and/or protocols. The invention allows manufacturers to ship a product with multiple code objects installed at the factory or warehouse, which objects are specific to various installations and/or configurations, and which allow the device to load the code objects specific to the installation/configuration in which it is placed. The invention is particularly useful, for example, in connection with consumer electronic products such as settop boxes, audio/visual receivers, televisions and the like. As the inventive apparatus and methods do not require software to be downloaded from, e.g., a particular RF network, products can be provided which are upgradeable and/or configurable regardless of the network with which they are used. Should the environment change (e.g., the consumer moves to a new location), the configuration process will determine if the currently running firmware/software is applicable to the new environment. If not, then the device will determine which version of the firmware/application is required, load the applicable code, and operate accordingly.
[0026] Although the invention has been described in connection with a specific embodiment thereof, it should be appreciated that various modifications and adaptations can be made without departing from the scope, as set forth in the claims.

ABSTRACT: Scan and segmented scan algorithms are crucial building blocks for a great many data-parallel algorithms. Segmented scan and related primitives also provide the necessary support for the flatten-ing transform, which allows for nested data-parallel programs to be compiled into flat data-parallel languages. In this paper, we describe the design of efficient scan and segmented scan parallel prim-itives in CUDA for execution on GPUs. Our algorithms are designed using a divide-and-conquer approach that builds all scan primitives on top of a set of primitive intra-warp scan routines. We demonstrate that this design methodology results in routines that are simple, highly efficient, and free of irregular access patterns that lead to memory bank conflicts. These algorithms form the basis for current and upcoming releases of the widely used CUDPP library.Scientific Computing with Multicore and Accelerators, Edited by Jakub Kurzak and David A.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate an efficient data-parallel algorithm for building large hash tables of millions of elements in real-time. We consider two parallel algorithms for the construction: a classical sparse perfect hashing approach, and cuckoo hashing, which packs elements densely by allowing an element to be stored in one of multiple possible locations. Our construction is a hybrid approach that uses both algorithms. We measure the construction time, access time, and memory usage of our implementations and demonstrate real-time performance on large datasets: for 5 million key-value pairs, we construct a hash table in 35.7 ms using 1.42 times as much memory as the input data itself, and we can access all the elements in that hash table in 15.3 ms. For comparison, sorting the same data requires 36.6 ms, but accessing all the elements via binary search requires 79.5 ms. Furthermore, we show how our hashing methods can be applied to two graphics applications: 3D surface intersection for moving data and geometric hashing for image matching.ACM Transactions on Graphics 12/2009; 28(5):154:1--154:9.

ABSTRACT: We present a software system that enables path-traced rendering of complex scenes. The system consists of two primary components: an application layer that implements the basic rendering algorithm, and an out-of-core scheduling and data-management layer designed to assist the application layer in exploiting hybrid computational resources (e.g., CPUs and GPUs) simultaneously. We describe the basic system architecture, discuss design decisions of the system's data-management layer, and outline an efficient implementation of a path tracer application, where GPUs perform functions such as ray tracing, shadow tracing, importance-driven light sampling, and surface shading. The use of GPUs speeds up the runtime of these components by factors ranging from two to twenty, resulting in a substantial overall increase in rendering speed. The path tracer scales well with respect to CPUs, GPUs and memory per node as well as scaling with the number of nodes. The result is a system that can render large complex scenes with strong performance and scalability.Computer Graphics Forum 03/2009; 28(2):385 - 396.

Article: Fast BVH Construction on GPUs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present two novel parallel algorithms for rapidly constructing bounding volume hierarchies on manycore GPUs. The first uses a linear ordering derived from spatial Morton codes to build hierarchies extremely quickly and with high parallel scalability. The second is a top-down approach that uses the surface area heuristic (SAH) to build hierarchies optimized for fast ray tracing. Both algorithms are combined into a hybrid algorithm that removes existing bottlenecks in the algorithm for GPU construction performance and scalability leading to significantly decreased build time. The resulting hierarchies are close in to optimized SAH hierarchies, but the construction process is substantially faster, leading to a significant net benefit when both construction and traversal cost are accounted for. Our preliminary results show that current GPU architectures can compete with CPU implementations of hierarchy construction running on multicore systems. In practice, we can construct hierarchies of models with up to several million triangles and use them for fast ray tracing or other applications.Computer Graphics Forum 03/2009; 28(2):375 - 384.

Article: Fast BVH Construction on GPUs.
Article: Resolution-Matched Shadow Maps[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This article presents resolution-matched shadow maps (RMSM), a modified adaptive shadow map (ASM) algorithm, that is practical for interactive rendering of dynamic scenes. Adaptive shadow maps, which build a quadtree of shadow samples to match the projected resolution of each shadow texel in eye space, offer a robust solution to projective and perspective aliasing in shadow maps. However, their use for interactive dynamic scenes is plagued by an expensive iterative edge-finding algorithm that takes a highly variable amount of time per frame and is not guaranteed to converge to a correct solution. This article introduces a simplified algorithm that is up to ten times faster than ASMs, has more predictable performance, and delivers more accurate shadows. Our main contribution is the observation that it is more efficient to forgo the iterative refinement analysis in favor of generating all shadow texels requested by the pixels in the eye-space image. The practicality of this approach is based on the insight that, for surfaces continuously visible from the eye, adjacent eye-space pixels map to adjacent shadow texels in quadtree shadow space. This means that the number of contiguous regions of shadow texels (which can be efficiently generated with a rasterizer) is proportional to the number of continuously visible surfaces in the scene. Moreover, these regions can be coalesced to further reduce the number of render passes required to shadow an image. The secondary contribution of this paper is demonstrating the design and use of data-parallel algorithms inseparably mixed with traditional graphics programming to implement a novel interactive rendering algorithm. For the scenes described in this paper, we achieve 60--80 frames per second on static scenes and 20--60 frames per second on dynamic scenes for 5122 and 10242 images with a maximum effective shadow resolution of 32,7682 texels.ACM Transactions on Graphics 10/2007; 26:20:1--20:17.

Conference Paper: Scan Primitives for GPU Computing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The scan primitives are powerful, general-purpose data-parallel primitives that are building blocks for a broad range of applications. We describe GPU implementations of these primitives, specifically an efficient formulation and implementation of segmented scan ,o n NVIDIA GPUs using the CUDA API. Using the scan primitives, we show novel GPU implementations of quicksort and sparse matrix-vector multiply, and analyze the performance of the scan primitives, several sort algorithms that use the scan primitives, and a graphical shallow-water fluid simulation using the scan framework for a tridiagonal matrix solver.Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS symposium on Graphics hardware; 08/2007

Conference Paper: A Work-Efficient Step-Efficient Prefix Sum Algorithm[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Prefix-sum algorithm [Hillis and Steele Jr. 1986] is one of the most important building blocks for data-parallel computation. Its applications include parallel implementations of deleting marked elements from an array (stream-compaction), radix-sort, solving re-currence equations, solving tri-diagonal linear systems, and quick-sort. In addition to being a useful building block, the prefix-sum algorithm is a good example of a computation that seems inherently sequential, but for which there are efficient data-parallel algorithms.05/2006

Conference Paper: Octree Textures on Graphics Hardware[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We implement an interactive 3D painting application that stores paint in an octree-like GPU-based adaptive data structure. Interac-tive painting of complex or unparameterized surfaces is an impor-tant problem in the digital film community. Many models used in production environments are either difficult to parameterize or are unparameterized implicit surfaces. We address this problem with a system that allows interactive 3D painting of complex, unparame-terized models. The included movie demonstrates interactive paint-ing of a 817k polygon model (as shown in Figure 1) with effective paint resolutions varying between 64, to 2048,. Our implementa-tion differs from previous work [Benson and Davis 2002; Carr and Hart 2004; DeBry et al. 2002; Lefebvre et al. 2004] in two impor-tant ways: first, it uses an adaptive data structure implemented en-tirely on the GPU, and second, it enables interactive performance with high quality by supporting quadlinear (mipmapped) filtering and fast, constant-time data accesses.Technical Sketches Program, ACM SIGGRAPH 2005; 08/2005
Conference Paper: Dynamic Adaptive Shadow Maps on Graphics Hardware[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a novel implementation of adaptive shadow maps (ASMs) that performs all shadow lookups and scene analysis on the GPU, enabling interactive rendering with ASMs while moving both the light and camera. Adaptive shadow maps [Fernando et al. 2001] offer a rigorous solution to projective and perspective shadow map aliasing while maintaining the simplicity of a purely image-based technique. The complexity of the ASM data structure, however, has prevented full GPU-based implementations until now. Our ap-proach uses an entirely GPU-based data structure and a blend of graphics and GPU stream programming. We support shadow map effective resolutions up to 131; 072, and, unlike previous imple-mentations, provide smooth transitions between resolution levels by trilinearly filtering (mipmapping) the shadow lookups.ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 Sketches; 08/2005

ABSTRACT: Scan and segmented scan algorithms are crucial building blocks for a great many data-parallel algorithms. Segmented scan and related primitives also provide the necessary support for the atten- ing transform, which allows for nested data-parallel programs to be compiled into at data-parallel languages. In this paper, we describe the design of ecient scan and segmented scan parallel prim- itives in CUDA for execution on GPUs. Our algorithms are designed using a divide-and-conquer approach that builds all scan primitives on top of a set of primitive intra-warp scan routines. We demonstrate that this design methodology results in routines that are simple, highly ecient, and free of irregular access patterns that lead to memory bank conicts. These algorithms form the basis for current and upcoming releases of the widely used CUDPP library.
