Systems and methods of high speed scrubbing of airspace radar returns

A method of scrubbing airspace radar returns, comprising:

• the one or more central processing units configured to:
• loading, by one or more central processing units (“CPUs”) of a data processing system, in an application buffer of the data processing system, time-ordered airspace radar return data comprising a plurality of radar returns each encoded as an object comprising location information, time information, and property information;
• providing, by the one or more CPUs to one or more graphical processing units (“GPUs”) of the data processing system, the time-ordered airspace radar return data;
• allocating, by the one or more GPUs, a plurality of buffers in memory of the one or more GPUs;
• generating, by the one or more GPUs for storage in the plurality of buffers, a plurality of arrays comprising the location information, the time information, and the property information reorganized into a location array, a time array, and a property-based array;
• receiving, by the one or more GPUs, an indication to scrub a display of at least a portion of the airspace radar return data to a time window prior to a current display time or subsequent to the current display time;
• identifying, by the one more GPUs responsive to the indication to scrub the display to the time window, one or more time entries in the time array stored in memory of the one or more GPUs that satisfy the time window;
• retrieving, by the one or more GPUs, from the location array and the property-based array stored in memory of the one or more GPUs, one or more location entries and one or more property-based entries that correspond to the one or more time entries that satisfy the time window;
• and
• rendering, by the one or more GPUs for display via a display device of the data processing system, one or more frames with one or more pixels corresponding to the one or more location entries, the one or more time entries, and the one or more property-based entries that satisfy the time window.
