20150254155 | Maintaining Coherent Synchronization Between Data Streams on Detection of Overflow - Trace data streams are generated for tracing target processor activity. Various trace data streams are synchronized using markers called sync points. The sync points provide a unique identifier field and a context to the data that will follow it. All trace data streams may generate a sync point with this unique identifier. These unique identifiers allow synchronization between multiple trace data streams. When multiple trace data streams are on, it is possible that the data input rate may be higher than the data output rate. If synchronization is lost in such a case, there must be a scheme to resynchronize the streams. This invention is a technique for this needed resynchronization. | 09-10-2015 |

20150025869 | System and Method of Implementing Finite Difference Time Domain Models with Multiple Accelerated Processing Components (APCs) - Embodiments of a method for implementing a finite difference time domain modeling with multiple APCs are disclosed herein. The disclosed methods and systems overcome the memory capacity limitation of APCs by having each APC perform multiple timesteps on a small piece of the computational domain or data volume in a APC queued manner. The cost of transferring data between host and compute accelerator can then be amortized over multiple timesteps, greatly reducing the amount of PCI bandwidth required to sustain high propagation speeds. The APC queued nature of the algorithm achieves linear scaling of PCI throughput with increasing number of APCs, allowing the algorithm to scale up to many dozens of APCs in some embodiments. | 01-22-2015 |

20150348229 | Image annotation using a haptic plane - During an analysis technique, a three-dimensional (3D) image of a portion of an individual is transformed to facilitate accurate determination of detailed annotation of an anatomical structure (such as: specifying the size of the anatomical structure based on annotation markers, an orientation of the anatomical structure, a direction of the anatomical structure and/or a location of the anatomical structure). In particular, in response to receiving information specifying a two-dimensional (2D) plane having an angular position in the 3D image, the 3D image is translated and rotated from an initial position and orientation so that the 2D plane is presented in an orientation parallel to a reference 2D plane of a display. Then, after information specifying the detailed annotation in the 2D plane is received, the 3D image is translated and rotated back to the initial position and orientation. | 12-03-2015 |
