CPU, SMP and GPU implementations of Nohalo level 1, a fast co-convex antialiasing image resampler
No full textThis article introduces Nohalo level 1 (“Nohalo”), the simplest member of a family of image resamplers which straighten diagonal interfaces without adding noticeable nonlinear artifacts. Nohalo is interpolatory, co-monotone, coconvex, antialiasing, local average preserving, continuous, and exact on linears. Like many edge-enhancing methods, Nohalo has two main stages: first, nonlinear interpolation is used to create a double-density version of the original image; this doubledensity image is then resampled with bilinear interpolation. Nohalo is especially suited for GPU computing because the nonlinear slopes can be computed once and stored in a low bit-depth texture without rounding error, because the final bilinear stage can be performed in hardware, and because monotonicity allows full use of the texture’s dynamic range. Demand-driven implementations for CPUs and SMPs are more complex, and require extra work to fix bottlenecks. Efficient implementations of the minmod function are key to performance. Three implementations of Nohalo are presented and benchmarked: a CPU version in C for the graphics library GEGL, an SMP version in C++ for the graphics library VIPS and a GPU version in HLSL for DirectX. The GPU implementation is branch-free thanks to the discovery of a simple formula for the pixel values of the double density image. Branches are eliminated in the demand-driven C/C++ implementations by reflecting, if needed, Nohalo’s 12-point stencil with pointer shifts. Overall, Nohalo is not much slower than standard bicubic resamplers. Compared to twenty-three alternatives in tests involving the re-enlargement of images downsampled with nearest neighbour, Nohalo gets the best PSNRs

In Four Four: A Sydney Writers\u27 Festival Event
No full textFour very special authors - Barbara Blackman, Brian Castro, Gretchen Miller and Gerry Turcotte - tell their own stories about nights spent dancing. Four extraordinary musicians - Sandy Evans (saxophones), Alister Spence (piano), Brett Hirst (double bass), and Philip South (percussion) - bring the stories to life through music.
As the writers tell their stories the musicians respond to the words, weaving lines of emotion and adding layers of meaning. The result is a multi-dimensional performance experience arising from a shifting spiral of text, speech music and sound.
Concept, composition and design by Gretchen Miller.
Written and performed by Barbara Blackman, Brian Castro, Gretchen Miller and Gerry Turcotte.
Music performed by Sandy Evans, Brett Hirst, Phillip South and Alister Spence.
Lighting design by Neil Simpson Dramaturgy by Virginia Baxter.
A download of this live performance is currently unavailable at ResearchOnline@ND.
