Abstract: A method and system for performing general matrix-vector multiplication (GEMV) operations on a graphics processor unit (GPU) using Smart kernels. During operation, the system may generate a set of kernels that includes at least one of a variable-N GEMV kernel and a constant-N GEMV kernel. A constant-N GEMV kernel performs computations for matrix and vector combinations with a specific value of N (e.g., the number of columns in a matrix and the number of rows in a vector). Variable-N GEMV kernels may perform computations for all values of N. The system may also generate 1B1R kernels, constant-N variable-rows GEMV kernels, and variable-N variable-rows GEMV kernels. The system may generate constant-N variable-threads GEMV kernels, and variable-N variable-threads GEMV kernels. The system may also generate variable-threads-rows GEMV kernels for the set. This may include ConstN kernels (e.g., constant-N variable-threads-rows GEMV kernels), and VarN kernels (e.g., variable-N variable-threads-rows GEMV kernels).

The processor also displays the flight path vector superimposed on one of the two images based on a value of angle ?.

Abstract: Cutout object merge techniques are described. In one or more embodiments, a cutout object is identified for insertion into a scene. The cutout object may, for instance, be selected from a library of cutout objects, each of which was extracted from an already-captured image. Before capturing an image of the scene, the selected cutout object may be placed in a substantially real-time display of the scene, such as that which is displayed via a camera's view finder. Using an image capturing device, an image of the scene may then be captured. Once an image of the scene is captured, the cutout object and the captured image may be merged to form a composite image that includes the cutout object at a location in the scene specified by the placement.
