Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, and computer products for evaluating nodes concurrently using a modified data flow graph. The modified data flow graph can identify independent nodes that can run as separate tasks. However, rather than relying on declared dependencies, embodiments herein can determine dependencies between segments of data elements in a data flow graph, and modify the data flow graph to take advantage of the determined dependencies. In such embodiments, the data elements can be divided into segments. By separating data elements into segments, nodes that previously depended on each other can be evaluated concurrently when independent segments are identified.

Abstract: A method for performing non-affine deformations. The method includes receiving data representing mathematical vectors associated with elements defining an object. The elements are organized in a hierarchy, a different subset of mathematical vectors is associated with one or more elements, and the mathematical vectors within each subset are defined relative to a local coordinate space associated with each element. The method further includes determining that a first non-affine deformer is to be applied to a first set of the elements, and, for each element in the first set, applying the first non-affine deformer to world coordinate space values corresponding to the mathematical vectors within the subset of mathematical vectors associated with the element to generate modified world coordinate space values for the mathematical vectors.
