Systems containing multiple graphics-processing-unit (GPU) clusters are difficult to use for real-time electroholography when using only a single spatial light modulator because the transfer of the computer-generated hologram data between the GPUs is bottlenecked. To overcome this bottleneck, we propose a rapid GPU packing scheme that significantly reduces the volume of the required data transfer. The proposed method uses a multi-GPU cluster system connected with a cost-effective gigabit Ethernet network. In tests, we achieved real-time electroholography of a three-dimensional (3D) video presenting a point-cloud 3D object made up of approximately 200,000 points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
