Asynchronous compute integrated into large-scale data rendering using dedicated, separate computing and rendering clusters

摘要

An asynchronous computing and rendering system includes a data storage unit that provides storage for processing a large-scale data set organized in accordance to data subregions and a computing cluster containing a parallel plurality of asynchronous computing machines that provide compute results based on the data subregions. The asynchronous computing and rendering system also includes a rendering cluster containing a parallel multiplicity of asynchronous rendering machines coupled to the asynchronous computing machines, wherein each rendering machine renders a subset of the data subregions. Additionally, the asynchronous computing and rendering system includes a data interpretation platform coupled to the asynchronous rendering machines that provides user interaction and rendered viewing capabilities for the large-scale data set. An asynchronous computing and rendering method is also provided.
