US 2013/0155078 A1 · CONFIGURABLE GRAPHICS CONTROL AND MONITORING

Abstract

A method and a graphics control and monitoring system are described. The graphics control and monitoring system is configurable and is equipped with a control and processing device, a computer, a data acquisition device, and a display. The control and processing device is equipped with a field programmable device that is configurable to work with a variety of data acquisition devices. The control and processing device receives data collected by the data acquisition device and processes the data. Further, graphics processing is performed by the processor which can be a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), general purpose computation on GPU (GPGPU) that is equipped with parallel computation capability, among others. After processing, display data is provided to a display.
