US 10,482,564 B2 · Method and system for improving GPU performance during data-intensive visualization operations

Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for improving GPU processing during visualization operations. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a data frame at a central processing unit (CPU), the data frame including a plurality of pieces of associated data; identifying, by the CPU, feature information corresponding to the plurality of pieces of associated data; generating, by the CPU, overall feature information by combining at least a portion of the feature information; and sending, by the CPU, the overall feature information to a graphics processing unit (GPU).

Claims19

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving a data frame at a central processing unit (CPU), the data frame including a plurality of pieces of associated data, the associated data describing a set of points between a start point and an end point;
identifying, by the CPU, feature information corresponding to the plurality of pieces of associated data, the feature information representing a property of at least one point in the set of points;
generating, by the CPU, overall feature information by combining at least a portion of the feature information;
and
sending, by the CPU, the overall feature information to a graphics processing unit (GPU) for visually rendering the overall feature information.
