Things of Interest

Transmogrifier-4 Coming soon

Fourier Volume Rendering
An short online paper describing the how to perform real-time volume rendering using frequency domain data. Includes source code and a test dataset.

VHDL circuit benchmark sets
This link points to a set of different VHDL benchmark circuits created by various University of Toronto students. In particular the complete circuit for my undergraduate thesis project, the raytracing processor, is available.
