Computer graphics and geometry processing research provide the tools needed to simulate physical phenomena like fire and flames, aiding the creation of visual effects in video games and movies as ...

Most computer scientists believe that there is no algorithm that can efficiently find the best solutions for all possible combinations of cities.

Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (COMP_SCI 212) and Data Structures (COMP_SCI 214). I also highly recommend having taken Design and Analysis of Algorithms (COMP_SCI 336). Computational ...

The findings, published in IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, present a way to protect sensitive videos from rare but extremely powerful computers.

Researchers have devised a computer algorithm that takes intermittent samples -- for example, the number of prey and predating species in a forest once a year, or the concentration of different ...

Record breaking: inside LLE’s OMEGA laser when it achieved its best-ever fusion yield. (Courtesy: Eugene Kowaluk/LLE) Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments have been improved by a new computer ...
