Abstract
The fast generation of complex synthetic images by digital computing systems requires immense computational resources, which can be provided by several means.
Supercomputers, flight simulators and special purpose image synthesis architectures will be examined and compared by the panel. Each of these systems represents the very high end of the computational spectrum, with performance measured in hundreds of millions of operations per second.

MGC middleware for grid computing: the Globus Toolkit
ACAI '11: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Computing and Artificial IntelligenceGrid computing has made substantial advances during the last decade. A major concern in Grid environments is dealing with the high degree of heterogeneity of resources that can range from laptops and PCs to supercomputers. The unified virtual view of ...
