Detailed Description

Spatial decomposition enabling the distribution of data for distributed data visualization and computing.

NVIDIA IndeX decomposes the entire space, which include the scene description, into spatially disjoint subregions. These subregions are assigned to nodes in the GPU cluster environment and effectively prune the large-scale into smaller-sized portions (called data subsets, see Distributed Data Subsets) for parallel and distributed data management. Merely the subregions are assigned to cluster nodes but the contents of the data subsets contained inside subregions is imported by each of the cluster nodes in parallel (see Distributed Data Import Mechanism). That is, the logical spatial decomposition including a scene declaration (see Scene description) is distributed to cluster nodes whereas the effective large-scale data is routed through a single cluster node but imported by each and every cluster nodes individually.
