  • Patent number: 11263167
    Abstract: An exemplary method includes establishing, by a sending device, a communication session with a receiving device, the communication session configured to transfer an array of related, sequenced data blocks from the sending device to the receiving device. The method includes sending one or more parameter messages including parameters associated with the array of data blocks. The method includes receiving one or more parameter acknowledgement messages to the one or more parameter messages, the one or more parameter acknowledgement messages including a plurality of memory addresses of the receiving device, the plurality of memory addresses including a respective memory address for each data block of the array of data blocks. The method includes sending the array of data blocks to the receiving device, each data block of the array of data blocks sent to the respective memory address using a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10645360
    Abstract: An exemplary method includes a first physical computing device of a virtual reality system acquiring, from a capture device physically disposed at a vantage point in relation to a three-dimensional (“3D”) scene, surface data for the 3D scene, the surface data including a first instance of a multi-bit frame, separating the first instance of the multi-bit frame into a most significant byte (“MSB”) frame and a least significant byte (“LSB”) frame, compressing the MSB frame, and transmitting the LSB frame and the compressed MSB frame to a second physical computing device of the virtual reality system by way of the network interface.
