Fall 2024
The field of computer graphics is constantly evolving to meet the demands of modern applications. One such evolution is the introduction of low-level Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) such as Vulkan to give applications a greater amount of control over the hardware to facilitate efficient...

Data-Driven Analysis and Design of Vulkan Ray-Tracing Applications using Automatic Instrumentation
DownloadFall 2021
Modern graphics Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide first-class support for ray tracing. Hardware vendors implement drivers for the graphics API including a black-box compiler. The black-box compiler creates architecture-specific binaries that leverage ray-tracing hardware...

Development and use of a ray-based analysis tool for the investigation of stimulated Raman scattering in laser-plasma interaction experiments
DownloadSpring 2022
Recent long-scale-length spherical target experiments, performed on the OMEGA EP laser, are analyzed for stimulated Raman side-scattering (SRSS). This work has been motivated by results obtained on experiments performed at the Nation Ignition Facility (NIF), relevant to directly-driven inertial...

Spring 2021
Both short and long pulse laser plasma interactions are investigated by theoreti- cal analysis and modern computational techniques. An extensive set of simulations of short pulse laser plasma based particle accelerators are performed with the aim of improving performance and diagnostics of the...
