Jacket GFX
Advanced 3D Data Visualization
The AccelerEyes Jacket GFX offering dramatically improves visualization within the MATLAB environment. The idea is simple - let the GPU visualize and compute without moving data back to the CPU. Jacket GFX comes standard with a base Jacket license at no additional cost. GFX integrates the Jacket computational engine with the full OpenGL capabilities of CUDA-capable GPUs. This coupling of computation and graphics allows you to develop true visual computing applications.
Jacket GFX includes a port of the entire OpenGL API, including the newest extensions. Users can now view computations in realtime as they evolve on the GPU by simply adding one line (e.g. gsurf) to an application, algorithm or script. Jacket scripts, such as gsurf, are simply MATLAB scripts containing OpenGL code and are completely load balanced for maximum speed. Best of all, these scripts are totally open-source. Don't like a visualization? Just change it. Jacket GFX provides open, easy to use, and blazingly fast visual computing.
The following demonstrations not only demonstrate the visualization
power of Jacket GFX but also demonstrate the computational capabilies of
the Jacket
platform. In order to provide the real-time visual results presented in
these demonstrations, the underlying algorithm used to calculate each step
in the simulation must be performed at maximum speed. Jacket provides the
ability to fully leverage the GPUs compuational capability while providing
integrated visualization capabilities far beyond anything else offered.
