Ignoring Hardware Differences

چکیده
One of the great promises of real-time shading is the potential to have a single shading program that can run across a wide range of graphics hardware. While we don’t yet have a single cross-platform shading language to satisfy everyone, there is ample evidence that it is possible. In this chapter, we discuss what is necessary to create a cross-platform shading language, how shading languages allow us to ignore hardware differences, what range of hardware can reasonably be represented by a single shading language, and what evidence exists now that it will really work.

A neural marker of content-specific active ignoring.
The ability to attend to relevant events and to ignore irrelevant stimuli is crucial to survival. Theories disagree on whether this ability is dependent solely on increased neural activation for relevant items or whether active ignoring can also play a role. The authors examined the active ignoring of stimuli using a preview search procedure, where irrelevant faces appeared prior to relevant ho...
متن کاملSpontaneous attention to word content versus emotional tone: differences among three cultures.
A Stroop interference task was used to test the hypothesis that people in different cultures are differentially attuned to verbal content vis-à-vis vocal tone in comprehending emotional words. In Study 1, Americans showed greater difficulty ignoring verbal content than ignoring vocal tone (which reveals an attentional bias for verbal content); but Japanese showed greater difficulty ignoring voc...
متن کاملDimensioning of Hardware Components in UMTS Networks with Sectorized NodeBs
Abstract: The dimensioning of hardware components takes place at the end of the UMTS radio network planning process when a suitable NodeB site configuration has been found. Each connection to a NodeB requires a service specific number of hardware components and an incoming connection is blocked if not enough components are available. The aim of hardware dimensioning is to find the cost-optimal ...
متن کاملPothole Detection by Soft Computing
Subject- Potholes on roads are regarded as serious problems in the transportation domain and ignoring them leads to the increase of accidents, traffic, vehicle fuel consumption and waste of time and energy. As a result, pothole detection has attracted researchers’ attention and different methods have been presented for it up to now. Background- The major part of previous research is based on i...
متن کاملUsing Item Response Theory to Refine Knowledge Tracing
Previous work on knowledge tracing has fit parameters per skill (ignoring differences between students), per student (ignoring differences between skills), or independently for each pair (risking sparse training data and overfitting, and undergeneralizing by ignoring overlap of students or skills across pairs). To address these limitations, we first use a higher order Item Resp...
