Abstract:

A simulator is disclosed. A cockpit model comprising a plurality of cockpit model parts that collectively correspond to a simulated cockpit in a simulated vehicle is maintained. For each frame of a plurality of frames, a plurality of cockpit view frustums are determined, each cockpit view frustum corresponding to a different cockpit view of a plurality of cockpit views of the simulated cockpit. Shared cockpit scene information comprising a set of cockpit model parts that are within any of the plurality of cockpit views is generated based on the plurality of cockpit view frustums. A processing device submits to a graphics processing unit (GPU) the shared cockpit scene information and GPU instructions that direct the GPU to generate a plurality of cockpit view images that correspond to the plurality of cockpit views from the shared cockpit scene information. The GPU generates the plurality of cockpit view images.

Abstract:

Mechanisms for implementing a multi-monitor full screen mode in an application module are disclosed. An application module determines a number (N) of monitors that are coupled to a plurality of video ports of a device. The application module directs a window management module (WMM) that is independent of the application module to display at least one cover window that has dimensions coextensive with dimensions of respective maximum display areas of the N monitors. A primary monitor of the N monitors is determined, and a full screen display area associated with the primary monitor is determined. A main application window of the application module is sized to have dimensions that are at least coextensive with dimensions of the full screen display area, and the WMM is directed to display the main application window on the at least on primary monitor.
