A computer apparatus is disclosed for determining high quality raster data generation of scalar fields or vector fields, represented by piecewise polynomials or piecewise rational functions. It comprise one or more CPUs operative to do portions of the raster data generation algorithm, initializing sub-algorithms thereof, control the sub-algorithms, and possibly read back the generated raster data or transfer the raster data to other processors in the system. The computer apparatus further comprises one or more stream processing units operative to receive parts of the raster data algorithm from the CPUs and to execute sub-algorithms of the raster data algorithm, resulting in raster data that can be directly visualized, read back to the CPU or transferred to other processors.
Computer apparatus for creating at least one set of raster data from a time varying or constant scalar field or vector field within a volume, said scalar or vector field being described using any of polynomial, rational, piecewise polynomial and piecewise rational representation, said computer apparatus comprising at least one central processor unit (CPU) operative to control a raster data algorithm, initialize sub-algorithms thereof, control said sub-algorithms and to control the use of the results of the calculations involving said sub-algorithms, characterized in that said computer apparatus further comprises at least one stream processor unit (SPU) operative to receive sub-algorithms of said raster data algorithm from said at least one CPU and to execute said sub-algorithms of said raster data algorithm, resulting in raster data, and operative to at least one of
Method to create at least one set of raster data from a time varying or constant scalar field or vector field within a volume, said scalar or vector field being described using any of polynomial, rational, piecewise polynomial and piecewise rational representation, said method comprising at least controlling execution of a raster data algorithm, initializing sub-algorithms thereof, controlling said sub-algorithms and controlling the use of the results of the calculations involving said sub-algorithms,
