a system for interactively generating realistic 3D models of objects from video—models that might be inserted into a video game, a simulation environment, or another video sequence.
file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date.
Department of Mathematical Sciences San Diego State University, Vernor Vinge - Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.
a group of international experts involved in network and system security. THC was founded in 1995 in Germany, has published over 60 software releases and technical papers and currently is among the top ten security groups worldwide.
by Dirk Riehle - "The advent of open source software has produced more than lower software costs for users. It has also created major changes in the economic interaction among players in the software ecosystem."
by Alan C. Kay ffrom Apple Computer - "Most ideas come from previous ideas. The sixties, particularly in the ARPA community, gave rise to a host of notions..."
aims to build scalable, robust distributed systems using peer-to-peer ideas. The basis for much of our work is the Chord distributed hash lookup primitive.
a tool for providing the 'atomic' keyword for C/C++ (gcc, x86, Linux only yet). With TARIFA you may replace hard-to-understand lock (mutex) constructs or improve coarse-grained locking solutions by employing regions of code that appear to be executed atom
an approach to simulating very large textures using much less texture memory than they'd require in full by downloading only the data that is needed, and using a pixel shader to map from the virtual large texture to the actual physical texture.
by Quan Wen, Dmitri B. Chklovskii "...what is the reason for such segregation? To answer this question, we posit that brain functionality requires high interconnectivity and short conduction delays."
