Abstract:
A system for rendering graphical data utilizes a plurality of frame buffers, a plurality of graphics pipelines, a compositor, and logic. The plurality of graphics pipelines are configured to receive graphics commands and to render graphical data to each of the plurality of frame buffers based on the received graphics commands. The compositor is configured to receive a control signal and to interface the graphical data with a display device based on the control signal. The logic is configured to analyze the graphics commands and to make a determination, based on the graphics commands, as to which pixels defined by the graphical data are associated with three-dimensional (3D) regions. The logic is further configured to transmit the control signal to the compositor, wherein the control signal is based on the determination.
Abstract:
A system and method for configuring a plurality of graphics pipelines in a computer graphical display system is disclosed. The method comprises displaying a graphical user interface to enable a user to graphically specify at least one parameter for a plurality of pipe rectangles of the computer graphical display system, each of the plurality of pipe rectangles being associated with at least one of the plurality of graphics pipelines, receiving the at least one parameter, and updating a compositor of the computer graphical display system in real-time based at least in part on the at least one parameter.
Abstract:
A system and method for automatically configuring graphics pipelines by tracking a region of interest in a computer graphical display system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving updated definitional information on a selected region of interest of a display device of the computer graphical display system in response to a change in definition of the selected region of interest and automatically configuring the plurality of graphics pipelines relative to the selected region of interest based at least in part on the updated definitional information.

Abstract:
A system rendering graphical data from a graphics application utilizes a plurality of frame buffers, a plurality of graphics pipelines, and logic. Each of the graphics pipelines is configured to render graphical data to a different one of the frame buffers. The logic is configured to determine a mode of operation of the graphics application and to prevent, based on the mode of operation of the graphics application, at least one of the graphics pipelines from rendering the graphical data from the graphics application.
Abstract:
To improve access to documents in a large database, such as the World Wide Web of the Internet or a group intranet, a continuously updated computer organization and display system, and a method for such an organization and display system, is provided to quickly locate desired documents without generating references to undesired documents, and to quickly allow a user to determine if any documents of interest are available. In one embodiment, such organization and display system includes data structures for storing and processing information extracted from the header lines of web pages in file systems chosen by a user. Linked lists are created in such data structures to allow rapid construction and display of an alphabetical index of keywords from such header lines, each keyword having associated with it a title extracted from the same web-page header. The alphabetical index by keywords may be displayed on a file that permits the user readily to jump to a desired location in the alphabetical index. Alternatively, the user may search the alphabetical index to find titles or keywords that correspond with an entered character string. A user may select a title in the index and view the file from which the title was extracted.
Abstract:
A system and method for administering access to a central resource by a remote access device. A system includes a remote access device and a computer executing a hierarchical policy manager. The remote access device requests access to a central resource. The hierarchical policy manager determines a policy for allowing the device to access the resource by evaluating access policies at a plurality of precedence levels of a policy hierarchy. The hierarchical policy manager allows the device to access the resource based on the policy set at the highest precedence level of the policy hierarchy at which access control is specified.
Abstract:
A system and method for deploying resources to users. A system includes a computer that executes a resource deployment manager. The resource deployment manager provides an interface for selecting a remote user to whom a central resource is to be assigned, and for selecting a template upon which to base the assignment of the resource to the selected user. Further, the resource deployment manager assigns the central resources to the selected user based on the selected template.
Abstract:
A single logical screen display system includes a client process, a master server process and plural slave server processes. Each of the slave server processes runs on a separate remote computer system. The master server process maintains network connections with the client process and with each of the slave server processes. The client process issues single logical screen window system requests to the master server process. The master server process issues physical screen window system requests to the slave server processes. Each slave server process controls one of a plurality of physical display devices. The plural physical display devices comprise a composite display on which the single logical screen appears.
Abstract:
A system and method for a computer system to recognize and initialize an arrangement of a plurality of physical monitors as a single logical screen (SLS). The invention translates a user's window operation request directed to the SLS into an SLS function. The SLS function is then translated into a plurality of device dependent functions, each of which performs the user's requested window operation on one physical monitor. The translation of the SLS function comprises an unwrapping of the SLS function by removing the SLS function and installing the plurality of device dependent functions, and the wrapping of the plurality of device dependent functions by removing the plurality of device dependent functions and installing the SLS function. The invention implements each of the unwrapping and wrapping operations in two assignment instructions. The invention further comprises the capability of generating a single simultaneous display wherein the image on one physical monitor is displayed on each physical monitor of the SLS configuration.
