- Reverse Hashing for High-Speed Network Monitoring: Algorithms, Evaluation, and Applications
- A key function for network traffic monitoring and analysis is the ability to perform aggregate queries over multiple data streams. Change detection is an important primitive which can be extended to construct many aggregate queries. The recently proposed sketches are among the very few that can detect heavy changes online...

- Accelerating Real-Time Shading With Reverse Reprojection Caching
- Evaluating pixel shaders consumes a growing share of the computational budget for real-time applications. However, the significant temporal coherence in visible surface regions, lighting conditions, and camera location allows reusing computationally-intensive shading calculations between frames to achieve significant performance improvements at little degradation in visual quality. This paper investigates a...
