| description | I present a distributed display architecture that integrates with a set of asynchronous mechanically and electrically re-configurable computing nodes, otherwise known as Discrete Integrated Circuit Electronics (DICE). Each singular display is physically and electrically connected to a DICE node which transmits useful data to be displayed. By integrating these displays with the DICE nodes, a multitude of applications are enabled, starting with real-time data visualization and debugging, and going on up to more complex applications, such as locally computed ray tracing and graphics rendering, as well as structural and volumetric displays. The advantages and implementation of the displays into the DICE architecture, as well as various examples of their applications are demonstrated and discussed. While the DICE nodes themselves address issues with locality in computing, these integrated distributed displays will help them overcome some of their limitations and enhance their capabilities. Together, these integrated devices and their scalability can lead to iterative improvements to graphical processing, form into spatial 2D grid (structural) and 3D mesh (volumetric) displays, and overall reduce the cost and complexity of distributed display and computing systems. |
