    摘要: A method for supporting development of content independent of a run time platform is provided. A method includes storing processing blocks and storing an application graph that expresses the identity of the stored processing blocks and data connectivity therebetween. The application graph can be traversed by a graphical application platform at run time to execute appropriate blocks. A game development and run time system includes a graphical application platform that enables a game application to run on any of multiple hardware platforms. The graphical application platform has an application real time kernel, a plurality of standard features implemented as executable blocks of logic, and connections between blocks that implement data flow between the blocks. Capabilities of the game application and any of the hardware platforms can be implemented modularly by adding additional corresponding blocks and connections.

    摘要: A system and method is presented that leverages independent innovation in entertainment content and graphics hardware. In this system and method, the current image generation run-time application is replaced with a new framework defining the connectivity, features, and behavior necessary to implement a graphics system. All this takes place in the context of a software platform utilizing a late-integration mechanism that dynamically integrates the various real-time components in a run-time application. Ultimately displacing hardware as the central focus of development efforts, this software platform functionally is the graphics application, at least as viewed by the simulation host computer, database developers, and those responsible for visual system procurement and maintenance. An innovative software architecture, the Graphical Application Platform (GAP) is presented. The GAP builds on image generator, workstation, and scene graph success by extending the concepts of platform and framework into the real-time graphics domain—bridging the gap between image generation concerns and contemporary hardware and software realities by decoupling content, hardware and applications. This new approach also provides technology to address emerging concerns related to the selection and acquisition processes in the context of new low-cost, high-performance graphics hardware.

    摘要: A system for ranking geospatial entities is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises an interface for receiving ranking data about a plurality of geospatial entities and an entity ranking module. The module uses a ranking mechanism to generate place ranks for the geospatial entities based on the ranking data. Ranked entity data generated by the entity ranking module is stored in a database. The entity ranking module may be configured to evaluate a plurality of diverse attributes to determine a total score for a geospatial entity. The entity ranking module may be configured to organize ranked entity data into placemark layers.
