Hi,
I was just wondering if there is any benefit to openmap makubg use of 3d
hardware accel rendering? We are investigating the use of openmap in a
near real-time update (ie. military situational awareness display)
scenario and when combined with a single CADRG (RpfLayer), and a few
(<20) OMGraphics, the rendering is too slow.
< details >
(talking between 2-10 secs to perform a pan and/or zoom -- this is on a
Athlon64 2.x with 1 GB ram). The CADRG full data set is largish (450MB)
but only a very small amount of the map is shown (say <1%). I'm not sure
exactly how the CADRG is broken up into tile/cells, but it's an official
NIMA dataset, so I'm hoping that it has been generated reasonably well.
< /details >
Anyway, I was playing with ways of optimising the performance, when I
just sort of wondered why 3d hardware accelearation isn't used more. Is
this due to the immaturity of jogl/j3d/lwjgl libraries or because the
hardware doesn't provide any benefit?
Yours interested
Tom
