| 20100082362 | Method and Apparatus for Assessing Salient Characteristics of a Community - A computer system and method comprising census data on neighborhood level communities, each data point representing a quantitative value indicative of one of a plurality of components of community health. Executable instructions combine with weighted importance, the quantitative indicator values into a plurality of components of community health. Each component represents a quantitative value associated with one of a plurality of determinants of community health. Executable instructions combine with weighted importance, the quantitative component values into a determinant of community health. Each of the determinants represents a quantitative contribution to an overall health index of the community. The index is computed from the determinants and can be compared with similarly computed indices for other communities. The indices, determinants, components, and indicators for a given community can be compared across communities and correlated with data on specific health outcomes across communities to identify health outcome disparities. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20100080142 | Automatic Detection of Channel Bandwidth - A step-wise approach to automatically determining the bandwidth of a communication channel includes dividing the channel's potential bandwidth into a number of ranges. An initial range is then selected and a series of data packets specific to the selected range are transmitted from a first endpoint to a second endpoint, with the second endpoint determining one or more channel metrics based on the transmitted packets (e.g., measured transmission rates). If the metrics indicate the current range accurately reflects the channel's bandwidth, a measured transmission rate of the transmitted data packets is used as the channel's bandwidth. Otherwise, another range is selected and the process is repeated. The described approach rapidly determines channel bandwidth, even when the channel between the two endpoints is asymmetric. Techniques described herein are particularly beneficial when used in conjunction with multimedia conferencing applications. | 04-01-2010 |

Control flow structures are used in scheduling instances of computation in the multiprocessing system, where different points in the control flow structure serve as points where deferral of some instances of computation can be performed in favor of scheduling other instances of computation. In some examples, the control flow structure identifies particular tasks, such as intersection testing of a particular portion of an acceleration structure, and a particular element of shading code. In some examples, the aspects are used in 3-D graphics processing systems that can perform ray tracing based rendering. | 01-03-2013 |

| 20150302630 | COMPACTING RESULTS VECTORS BETWEEN STAGES OF GRAPHICS PROCESSING - Ray tracing, and more generally, graphics operations taking place in a 3-D scene, involve a plurality of constituent graphics operations. Responsibility for executing these operations can be distributed among different sets of computation units. The sets of computation units each can execute a set of instructions on a parallelized set of input data elements and produce results. These results can be that the data elements can be categorized into different subsets, where each subset requires different processing as a next step. The data elements of these different subsets can be coalesced so that they are contiguous in a results set. The results set can be used to schedule additional computation, and if there are empty locations of a scheduling vector (after accounting for the members of a given subset), then those empty locations can be filled with other data elements that require the same further processing as that subset. | 10-22-2015 |
