Abstract: The present invention is a method for visualizing a plurality of stochastic datasets. The present invention provides a more accurate account of situations in the real world to better enable scientists and engineers to utilize the results of computer models. The method employs a two-stage process comprising a preprocessing stage and a visualization stage. Activity begins with the preprocessing stage. In this stage, the individual output from a plurality of different computations are converted from being described as two-dimensional surfaces in three-dimensional space to a three-dimensional voxel-based representation. For each surface set in the plurality of two-dimensional representations, a count is obtained of the total number of surfaces in the surface set which intersects the subspace of a voxel (each element of the data structure represents the subspace of a voxel in the three-dimensional voxel-based representation).

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for creating a sequence of computer graphics frames, using a plurality of rendering pipelines. For each frame, each rendering pipeline receives a subset of the total amount of graphics data for the particular frame. At the completion of a frame, each rendering pipeline sends a performance report to a performance monitor. The performance monitor determines whether or not there was a significant disparity in the time required by the respective rendering pipelines to render their tiles. If a disparity is detected, and if the disparity is determined to be greater than some threshold, an allocation module resizes the tiles for the next frame. This serves to balance the load across rendering pipelines for each frame.
