Patent number: 10713747Abstract: A method in a multi-core processing system for generating graphical commands is provided. The method includes generating a unique layer task for each of a plurality of layers that forms the current display frame in a cockpit display system (CDS), wherein the CDS is configured to display a plurality of windows, each window includes a plurality of layers, each layer includes one or more widgets that belong to a single user application, and each layer task includes information for a processor core in the multi-core processing system to generate graphical commands that when executed cause the rendering of the graphics described by the layer. The method further includes executing a plurality of layer tasks in parallel by a plurality of the processor cores in the multi-core processing system to generate graphical commands for execution by a GPU to render another display frame in the CDS.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Richard Wendlandt, Edward Colin Layden, Scott Hammond, Kannan Kathirvel, Adam Folts
