Instruction Counter for Computer Architecture Homework

This little profiling tool was developed especially for the ECS201a computer architecture homework 2 problem 1. Basically it is a little debugger that steps over a target program and counts each instruction and ranks instructions by their counts in a decreasing order.
To use this program, you need first to install libdisasm on your machine and compile the counter program as “g++ -O3 counter.c –ldisasm –o c”.
After that, execute “./c targetFileName”, the counter will step over the target program and give the result.
Good luck with your homework.

Raytraced Comic Rendering

An attempt to render noir comic via ray tracer. Noir comic is a style introduced by the book “Noir Comic” which uses only white and black to tell. As the author says in the preface:
“Black is my favorite color.
Although there is a debate on whether black and white are actual colors - such as red, yellow, or blue - to me black is the most vibrant. When applied, black is undeniably striking. It defines, it punctuates, it makes a statement.
The French word for the color black is noir. Over time, noir has come to reflect a mood, a tone, and most appropriately, a style. Suggestive of danger or violence, film noir is characterized by low-key lighting in a bleak urban setting with corrupt, cynical characters. in my approach, the word noir simply celebrates the color black; it is not confined to a specific genre. “
Here are some results I got:

Nvidia Tech-demo Model Cracker

the program can extract models from Nvidia's Tech-demo (fairy and nalu), the models were created by Steven Giesler, the world's greatest artist who also did the movie anime-matrix and final fantastic. here is a link to his webpage.
these are some screenshots of the model extracted and loaded into 3D max.
