  • Patent number: 9465666
    Abstract: A system includes a memory, a graphics processor, and a processor. The memory stores a control program that includes an extension of an application programming interface. The graphics processor includes multiple computational units. The processor executes the control program, with the control program causing the processor to obtain data from the memory. The data specifies a first function and is intended to execute on the multiple computational units. The control program further causes the processor to create at least one map for assigning computational tasks for the first function across the multiple computational units. A part of the data associated with each of the computational tasks is stored to the respective multiple computational units that are assigned to execute the computational tasks.

  • Publication number: 20110276970
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a system and a method for a C++ based extension of the parallel VSIPL++ API that consists of a basis of game engine related operations. The invention relates to a system 101 for a game engine comprising a memory 102; multiple computational units 103; and a map means 104 that obtains data from the memory, wherein the data specify a first functionality and creates the map or a plurality of maps for assigning computational tasks for the first functionality by spreading the data across the multiple computational units.
