Abstract: A system and method for deploying software is disclosed. The system includes an architecture for deploying simulation software as a service. The architecture includes a client layer. The client layer includes an edge device, a resource manager, an update framework, a firewall, and a key management system. The architecture further includes a control layer communicatively coupled to the client layer, wherein a portion of the control layer is configured within a server. The control layer includes an application programming interface, one or more containers, wherein at least one of the one or more containers is a simulation processing container. The control layer further includes an orchestration node, a continuous integration tool, one or more processors, and a content delivery network module. The architecture further includes a data layer communicatively coupled to the one or more containers.

Abstract: A rendering system includes a cloud component and a local edge component. The cloud component receives or retrieves legacy data from various sources and preprocesses the data into a format. The local edge component receives the preprocessed data from the cloud component and performs local rendering steps necessary to place the preprocessed data into a form suitable for a game engine. The game engine utilizes the preprocessed data to render an image stream. The system is embodied in a flight simulator.

Abstract: A mixed reality (MR) system is disclosed. The MR system may determine a first predicted head pose corresponding to a time that virtual reality imagery is rendered, determine a second predicted head pose corresponding to a selected point in time during a camera shutter period, and combine the virtual reality imagery with the stereoscopic imagery based on the first predicted head pose and the second predicted head pose. A simulator that employs remote (e.g., cloud) rendering is also disclosed. The simulator/client device may determine a first pose (e.g., vehicle pose and/or head pose), receive video imagery rendered by a remote server based on the first pose, and apply a timewarp correction to the video imagery based on a comparison of the first pose and a second pose.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving rendering performance of graphics processors are disclosed. A graphics processor may be configured to maintain access to multiple framebuffer sets stored in a non-transitory processor-readable medium. Two or more framebuffer sets may be configured to support different numbers of samples per pixel. The graphics processor may be further configured to determine whether a performance metric of a first frame processed using a first framebuffer set exceeded a threshold. The graphics processor may select a second framebuffer set with a reduced number of samples per pixel compared to the first framebuffer set when the performance metric of the first frame exceeded the threshold and process a second frame for display to a viewer utilizing the second framebuffer set.
