Supporting Numerical Computations in Interactive Contexts

چکیده
As computational performance becomes more readily available, there will be an increasing variety of interactive graphical applications with iterative numerical techniques at their core. In this paper, we consider how to support the unique demands of such applications. In particular, we focus on how to set up the numerical problems which must be solved. In the context of interactive systems, this requires the ability to dynamically compose systems of equations and rapidly evaluate them and their derivatives. We present an approach called Snap-Together Mathematics for doing this.

متن کاملThe NUMLAB numerical laboratory for computation and visualisation
A large range of software environments addresses numerical simulation, interactive visualisation and computational steering. Most such environments are designed to cover a limited application domain, such as finite element or finite difference packages, symbolic or linear algebra computations or image processing. Their software structure rarely provides a simple and extensible mathematical mode...

This paper presents work characterizing finite element performance boundaries within which live, interactive finite element modeling is feasible on current and emerging systems. These results are based on wide-ranging tests performed using a prototype finite element program implemented specifically for this study, thereby enabling the unified investigation of numerous direct and iterative solve...
متن کاملDIRmaps : Discretized Incident Radiance Maps for High-Quality Global Illumination Walkthroughs in Complex Environments
Realtime ray tracing and interactive global illumination have recently made significant progress, allowing for ray traced rendering quality even in highly complex scenes. Nevertheless, high-quality global illumination is currently still limited to offline computations, as existing interactive techniques are applicable only to simple scenes, BRDFs, and/or lighting conditions. For realistically c...
متن کاملInteractive Learning of Scene Context Extractor Using Combination of Bayesian Network and Logic Network
The vision-based scene understanding technique that infers scene-interpreting contexts from real-world vision data has to not only deal with various uncertain environments but also reflect user’s requests. Especially, learnability is a hot issue for the system. In this paper, we adopt a probabilistic approach to overcome the uncertainty, and propose an interactive learning method using combinat...
