Abstract: Wear-related information is obtained from one or more storage devices in a storage array system being monitored. One or more graphics representing at least a portion of the wear-related information are generated. The one or more graphics are overlaid onto a real-world view of the one or more storage devices of the storage array system being monitored to generate an augmented reality view illustrating the wear-related information for the one or more storage devices of the storage array system being monitored. The augmented reality view may be presented on a user device. In one example, the wear-related information comprises estimated EOL computations for each of the one or more storage devices.

Abstract: A method of rendering a three-dimensional point cloud in a two-dimensional display includes inputting the three-dimensional point cloud that includes three-dimensional coordinates of a set of points, creating a depth buffer for the three-dimensional point cloud that includes depth data for the set of points from a viewpoint location. The method further includes determining a foreground depth buffer by, for each respective pixel area of the two-dimensional display, determining a foreground depth by detecting a closest point to the viewpoint location among a subset of the set of points corresponding to the respective pixel area, and assigning a depth of the closest point as the foreground depth for the respective pixel area. The method further includes filtering the depth buffer to obtain a filtered depth buffer by removing points that are not in the foreground, and outputting the filtered depth buffer to the two-dimensional display.

Abstract: Improvements in compute shader programs executed on parallel processing hardware are disclosed. An application or other entity defines a sequence of shader programs to execute. Each shader program defines inputs and outputs which would, if unmodified, execute as loads and stores to a general purpose memory, incurring high latency. A compiler combines the shader programs into groups that can operate in a lower-latency, but lower-capacity local data store memory. The boundaries of these combined shader programs are defined by several aspects including where memory barrier operations are to execute, whether combinations of shader programs can execute using only the local data store and not the global memory (except for initial reads and writes) and other aspects.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for coherent buffer mapping for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. A virtual graphics processing unit (GPU) is implemented using a physical GPU in a GPU server and attached to a computing device over a network. Based on a memory mapping call issued by an application on the computing device, a local buffer is allocated. The local buffer represents a view of a memory buffer of the physical GPU and is protected from access by the application. Based on a request by the application to access the local buffer while the local buffer is protected, metadata is generated indicating that the local buffer needs transfer. Based on the metadata, contents of the local buffer are transferred from the computing device to the physical GPU or contents of the memory buffer are transferred from the physical GPU to the computing device.
