ABSTRACT THINC: A Virtual and Remote Display Architecture for Desktop Computing and Mobile Devices Ricardo A. Baratto THINC is a new virtual and remote display architecture for desktop computing. It has been designed to address the limitations and performance shortcomings of existing remote display technology, and to provide a building block around which novel desktop architectures can be built. THINC is architected around the notion of a virtual display device driver, a software-only component that behaves like a traditional device driver, but instead of managing specific hardware, enables desktop input and output to be intercepted, manipulated, and redirected at will. On top of this architecture, THINC introduces a simple, low-level, device-independent representation of display changes, and a number of novel optimizations and techniques to perform efficient interception and redirection of display output. This dissertation presents the design and implementation of THINC. It also intro- duces a number of novel systems which build upon THINC's architecture to provide new and improved desktop computing services. The contributions of this dissertation are as follows: • A high performance remote display system for LAN and WAN environments.

  • Wearable Mixed Reality System in Less Than 1 Pound
    Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (2006) Roger Hubbold and Ming Lin (Editors) Wearable Mixed Reality System In Less Than 1 Pound Achille Peternier,1 Frédéric Vexo1 and Daniel Thalmann1 1Virtual Reality Laboratory (VRLab), École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Abstract We have designed a wearable Mixed Reality (MR) framework which allows to real-time render game-like 3D scenes on see-through head-mounted displays (see through HMDs) and to localize the user position within a known internet wireless area. Our equipment weights less than 1 Pound (0.45 Kilos). The information visualized on the mobile device could be sent on-demand from a remote server and realtime rendered onboard. We present our PDA-based platform as a valid alternative to use in wearable MR contexts under less mobility and encumbering constraints: our approach eliminates the typical backpack with a laptop, a GPS antenna and a heavy HMD usually required in this cases. A discussion about our results and user experiences with our approach using a handheld for 3D rendering is presented as well. 1. Introduction also few minutes to put on or remove the whole system.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

  • A Hybrid Client-Server Based Technique for Navigation in Large Terrains Using Mobile Devices
    A Hybrid Client-Server Based Technique for Navigation in Large Terrains Using Mobile Devices Jos´eM. Noguera, Rafael J. Segura, Carlos J. Og´ayar Grupo de Gr´aficos y Geom´atica Universidad de Ja´en Robert Joan-Arinyo Grup d’Inform`atica a l’Enginyeria Universitat Polit`ecnica de Catalunya January 29, 2010 Abstract We describe a hybrid client-server technique for remote adaptive streaming and render- ing of large terrains in resource-limited mobile devices. The technique has been designed to achieve an interactive rendering performance on a mobile device connected to a low- bandwidth wireless network. The rendering workload is split between the client and the server. The terrain area close to the viewer is rendered in real-time by the client using a hierarchical multiresolution scheme. The terrain located far from the viewer is portrayed as view-dependent impostors, rendered by the server on demand and, then sent to the client. The hybrid technique provides tools to dynamically balance the rendering work- load according to the resources available at the client side and to the saturation of the network and server. A prototype has been built and an exhaustive set of experiments covering several platforms, wireless networks and a wide range of viewer velocities has been conducted. Results show that the approach is feasible, effective and robust. Keywords: Terrain navigation, Terrain rendering, Mobile computing, 3D graphics, Soft- ware Portability, Adaptive streaming. 1 Introduction Nowadays, mobile devices with computational capabilities like mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) are ubiquitous.
