A Rectangular Area Filling Display System Architecture
A display system architecture which has rectangular area filling as its primitive operation is presented. It is shown that lines can be drawn significantly faster while rendition of filled boxes shows an O(n^2) speed improvement. Furthermore filled polygons can be rendered with an O(n) speed improvement.
Implementation of this rectangular area filling architecture is discussed and refined. A custom
VLSI integrated circuit is currently being designed to implement this rectangular area filling architecture
and at the same time reduce the display memory system video refresh bandwidth requirements
Anomalies and Invertible Field Theories
We give a modern geometric viewpoint on anomalies in quantum field theory and
illustrate it in a 1-dimensional theory: supersymmetric quantum mechanics. This
is background for the resolution of worldsheet anomalies in orientifold
superstring theory.Comment: 21 pages, based talk at String-Math 2013; small corrections in v
