US 2019/0378236 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING OF GRAPHIC SERVER COMPONENTS

Abstract

A method in a multi-core processing system for generating graphical commands is provided. The method includes generating a unique layer task for each of a plurality of layers that forms the current display frame in a cockpit display system (CDS), wherein the CDS is configured to display a plurality of windows, each window includes a plurality of layers, each layer includes one or more widgets that belong to a single user application, and each layer task includes information for a processor core in the multi-core processing system to generate graphical commands that when executed cause the rendering of the graphics described by the layer. The method further includes executing a plurality of layer tasks in parallel by a plurality of the processor cores in the multi-core processing system to generate graphical commands for execution by a GPU to render another display frame in the CDS.

A method in a multi-core processing system for generating graphical commands, the method comprising:

generating, by a processor core, a unique layer task for each of a plurality of layers that forms the current display frame in a cockpit display system (CDS), wherein the CDS is configured to display a plurality of windows, each window comprising a plurality of layers, each layer configured to be displayed within a specific viewing area within a window, each layer comprising one or more widgets that belong to a single user application, and wherein each layer task includes information for a processor core in the multi-core processing system to use to generate graphical commands that when executed by a graphical processing unit (GPU) cause the rendering of the graphics described by the layer;
and
executing a plurality of layer tasks in parallel by a plurality of the processor cores in the multi-core processing system to generate graphical commands for execution by the GPU to render another display frame in the CDS.

A multi-core processing system in an integrated circuit configured by programming instructions in non-transient computer readable media, the multi-core processing system configured to:

generate, by a processor core, a unique set of layer tasks for each of a plurality of layers that forms the current display frame in a cockpit display system (CDS), wherein the CDS is configured to display a plurality of windows, each window comprising a plurality of layers, each layer configured to be displayed within a specific viewing area within a window, each layer comprising one or more widgets that belong to a single user application, and wherein the layer tasks for a layer comprise tasks for the processor cores in the multi-core processing system to perform to generate graphical commands that when executed by a graphical processing unit (GPU) cause the rendering of the widgets in the layer;
and
execute a plurality of the sets of layer tasks in parallel by a plurality of processor cores to generate graphical commands for execution by the GPU to render another display frame in the CDS.
