  text: "We present a data structure problem which describes the requirements of a
    simple variant of fully dynamic walk-through animation: We assume the scene to
    consist of unit size balls in R2 or higher dimensions. The scene may be arbitrarily
    large and has to be stored in secondary memory (discs) with relatively slow access.
    We allow a visitor to walk in the scene, and a modeler to update the scene by
    insertions and deletions of balls. We focus on the realtime requirement of animation
    systems: For some t (specified by the computation power of (the rendering hardware
    of) the graphic workstation) the data structure has to guarantee that the balls
    within distance t of the current visitor's position are presented to the rendering
    hardware, 20 times per second. Insertions and deletions should also be available
    to the visitor with small delay, independent of the size of the scene. We present
    a data structure that fulfills the above task in realtime. Its runtime is output-sensitive,
    i.e. linear in a quantity close to the output size of the query. We further present
    (preliminary) experimental results indicating that our structure is efficient
    in practice.\r\n"

  text: "In this paper we develop a model for communication time on parallel computers
    consisting of processors and a service network, i.e., a network performing services
    like broadcast, synchronization, and global variables. The implementation of the
    service network is done on a free configurable Transputer network.\r\nOur cost
    model describes the communication time of accesses to global variables and consists
    of a multi-linear function. The cost model includes the parameters packet size,
    send hot spot, and the number of processors accessing global variables. These
    parameters influence the communication time in a high degree and capture important
    parameters like contention.\r\nWe implement a Bitonic Sort and a Connected Components
    algorithm (among others) and we show that our model is able to predict the communication
    time within a 10% error if indirect service networks are used. The applications
    show that it is easy for a programmer to determine the parameter values for our
    model and that our new cost model precisely predicts the communication time of
    parallel algorithms.\r\nFurthermore, we minimize the communication time of accesses
    to global variables by finding a balance between the number of messages in the
    network and their size. Our model predicts the optimal values for these parameters
    which we validate by experiments. A modified implementation of our routing which
    determines on-line the optimal parameter values for an access to a global variable
    achieves good speed ups."

  text: "In this report, we develop a cost model for the communication time on parallel
    computers consisting of processors and a service network, i.e., a network performing
    services like broadcast, synchronization, and global variables. Because we do
    not have a parallel computer at our disposal that is equipped with a service network,
    we emulate the service network on a reconfigurable Transputer network.\r\nOur
    cost model describes the communication time of accesses to global variables and
    consists of a multi­linear function. The cost model includes the parameters packet
    size, send hot spot (the number of messages sent out by one processor), and number
    of processors accessing global variables. We show that these parameters influence
    the communication time in a high degree and capture important parameters like
    network contention.\r\nWe implement a Bitonic Sort, Sample Sort, Matrix Multiplication,
    and Connected Components algorithm, and we show that our model is able to predict
    the communication time within a 10% error if indirect service networks are used.
    The applications show that it is easy for a programer to determine the parameter
    values for our model and that our new cost model precisely predicts the communication
    time of parallel algorithms.\r\nWe explore the interaction of hot spots and asynchrony
    and show that the influence of hot spots to the communication time is not as high
    as one would expect from theoretical considerations in a synchronous model. Therefore,
    we do not apprehend the hot spot in our cost model.\r\nFurthermore, we minimize
    the communication time of accesses to global variables by finding a balance between
    the number of messages in the network and their size. Our model predicts the optimal
    values for these parameters which we validate by experiments. A modified implementation
    of our routing which determines on­line the optimal parameter values for an access
    to a global variable achieves good speed ups.\r\n"
