A multiresolution parser (MRP) can selectively extract one or more information units from a dataset based on the available processing capacity and/or the arrival rate of the dataset. Should any of these parameters change, the MRP can adaptively change the information units to be extracted such that the benefit or value of the extracted information is maximized while minimizing the cost of extraction. This tradeoff is facilitated, at least in part, by an analysis of the spectral energy of the datasets expected to be processed by the MRP. The MRP can also determine its state after a processing iteration and use that state information in subsequent iterations to minimize the required computations in such subsequent iterations, so as to improve processing efficiency.

Systems and methods for multiresolution parsing

In a network system, an application receiving packets can consume one or more packets in two or more stages, where the second and the later stages can selectively consume some but not all of the packets consumed by the preceding stage. Packets are transferred between two consecutive stages, called producer and consumer, via a fixed-size storage. Both the producer and the consumer can access the storage without locking it and, to facilitate selective consumption of the packets by the consumer, the consumer can transition between awake and sleep modes, where the packets are consumed in the awake mode only. The producer may also switch between awake and sleep modes. Lockless access is made possible by controlling the operation of the storage by the producer and the consumer both according to the mode of the consumer, which is communicated via a shared memory location.

Systems and methods for providing lockless bimodal queues for selective packet capture

A system and method for distributing data (e.g., imaging data such as pixels, or 3D graphics data such as points, lines, or polygons) from a single or a small number of data sources to a plurality of graphical processing units (graphics processors) for processing and display is presented. The system and method provide a pipelined and multithreaded approach that prioritizes movement of the data through a high-speed multiprocessor system (or a high-speed system of networked computers), according to the system topology. Multiple threads running on multiple processors in shared memory move the data from a storage device (e.g., a disk array), through the high-speed multiprocessor system, to graphics processor memory for display and optional processing through fragment programming. The data can also be moved in the reverse direction, back through the high-speed multiprocessor system, for storage on the disk array.
