Franklin C. (Frank) Crow is a computer scientist who has made important contributions to computer graphics, including some of the first practical spatial anti-aliasing techniques.[1][2] Crow also proposed the shadow volume technique for generating geometrically accurate shadows.
Education
[edit]Crow studied electrical engineering at the University of Utah College of Engineering under Ivan Sutherland,[3] a pioneer in computer graphics.
Career
[edit]Crow taught at the University of Texas, NYIT and Ohio State University and was involved with research at Xerox PARC, Apple Computer's Advanced Technology Group, and Interval Research.[4]
From 2001 to 2008, he worked for NVIDIA as a GPU architect designing rasterization algorithms.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
