Abstract
A display control device for a cockpit allows for a time-oriented graphics partitioning. The device comprises a reception module for receiving a display request for a graphics service during the execution of a sequence of partitions, a configuration module for defining the duration of the sequence, the order and the duration of each partition, and a control module for determining whether the remaining execution time of the partition on which the graphics service depends is or is not sufficient to execute the graphics service. The graphics service is executed or stopped according to remaining computer time.
Claims10
A display control device for a graphics processing unit, comprising:
- a reception module for receiving at least one display request for at least one graphics service during the execution of a sequence of a plurality of partitions;
- a configuration module coupled to the request reception module for defining the duration of the sequence, the order and the duration of each partition;
- and
- a control module coupled to the configuration module to determine whether the remaining execution time of the partition on which said at least one graphics service depends is or is not sufficient to execute said at least one graphics service.
A display control method for a cockpit, the method being executed in a graphics processing unit and comprising the steps of:
- receiving a display request for at least one graphics service during the execution of a sequence of a plurality of partitions, each partition having a defined execution time;
- identifying the partition on which the graphics service depends;
- computing the remaining execution time of the identified partition;
- determining whether the remaining execution time is sufficient to execute said at least one graphics service;
- and
- executing said at least one graphics service or stopping it.
