WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract This project was an attempt to expand and document the Gordon Library’s Video Game Archive more specifically, the Nintendo 64 (N64) collection. We made the N64 and related accessories and games more accessible to the WPI community and created an exhibition on The History of 3D Games and Twitch Plays Paper Mario, featuring the N64. 2 Table of Contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2 ​ Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………………. 3 ​ Table of Figures……………………………………………………………………………………………5 ​ Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………………………….. 7 ​ Executive Summary………………………………………………………………………………………. 8 ​ 1-Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………………….. 9 ​ 2-Background………………………………………………………………………………………… . 11 ​ ​ ​ 2.1 - A Brief of History of Nintendo Co., Ltd.

    A.11 GRAPHICS CARDS, Historical Perspective (edited by J Wunderlich PhD in 2020) Graphics Pipeline Evolution 3D graphics pipeline hardware evolved from the large expensive systems of the early 1980s to small workstations and then to PC accelerators in the 1990s, to $X,000 graphics cards of the 2020’s During this period, three major transitions occurred: 1. Performance-leading graphics subsystems PRICE changed from $50,000 in 1980’s down to $200 in 1990’s, then up to $X,0000 in 2020’s. 2. PERFORMANCE increased from 50 million PIXELS PER SECOND in 1980’s to 1 billion pixels per second in 1990’’s and from 100,000 VERTICES PER SECOND to 10 million vertices per second in the 1990’s. In the 2020’s performance is measured more in FRAMES PER SECOND (FPS) 3. Hardware RENDERING evolved from WIREFRAME to FILLED POLYGONS, to FULL- SCENE TEXTURE MAPPING Fixed-Function Graphics Pipelines Throughout the early evolution, graphics hardware was configurable, but not programmable by the application developer. With each generation, incremental improvements were offered. But developers were growing more sophisticated and asking for more new features than could be reasonably offered as built-in fixed functions. The NVIDIA GeForce 3, described by Lindholm, et al. [2001], took the first step toward true general shader programmability. It exposed to the application developer what had been the private internal instruction set of the floating-point vertex engine. This coincided with the release of Microsoft’s DirectX 8 and OpenGL’s vertex shader extensions. Later GPUs, at the time of DirectX 9, extended general programmability and floating point capability to the pixel fragment stage, and made texture available at the vertex stage.

    Parallel Maximum-Likelihood Inversion for Estimating Wavenumber-Ordered Spectra in Emission Spectroscopy Hoda El-Sayed Marc Salit John Travis [email protected] [email protected] Judith Devaney William George [email protected] [email protected] National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, Maryland USA Abstract distributes the signal-carried noise to the signal, preventing the masking of small spectral features by the signal-carried We introduce a parallelization of the maximum- noise from the large spectral features.

This transform consists of a mates obtained using maximum-likelihood inversion have computationally intensive iterative fitting process, but is another potentially useful property—a line-shape which is readily decomposed for parallel processing. The parallel burdened with a less distorting transform-function than the implementation is not only scalable, but has also brought sinc function of the Fourier transform. the execution time of this previously intractable problem to In this paper we present a parallel implementation of the feasible levels using contemporary and cost-efficient high- maximum-likelihood inversion method.
