- Build your own 3-D virtual trees
- There are not many 3-D objects in virtual worlds such as Second Life. And the reason is very simple. 3-D objects are quite difficult to build by average computer users, who often don't have an artistic background. This is why computer scientists at Stanford University have decided to give us...

- Dryad: Distributed Data-Parallel Programs From Sequential Building Blocks
- Dryad is a general-purpose distributed execution engine for coarse-grain data-parallel applications. A Dryad application combines computational "Vertices" with communication "Channels" to form a dataflow graph. Dryad runs the application by executing the vertices of this graph on a set of available computers, communicating as appropriate through files, TCP pipes, and...
