I'd like to propose introducing support for indexing / data structures (for instance, spatial hashing) that separates data into blocks, and where each block can be processed by a separate thread.
If I find that the task is feasible (extending Opt and, potentially, Terra itself doesn't require a major re-engineering effort), I am willing to take the lead on this. That being said, I am a PhD student, and am open for collaboration if this work can lead to a publication (this would involve demonstrating advantages this would yield for different computer vision/graphics tasks).
For the authors and current maintainers, I have some questions:
-
What potential changes do you foresee to best realize support for extendable data structures (and a spatial hashing implementation) in Opt? Would this warrant a new data structure / class, such as the Array or SampledArray? Or would this involve a new access method, such as a Stencil/Graph? What difficulties / complications do you foresee? Would modifications to Terra be inevitable, and, if so, what kind of modifications?
-
Perhaps you or someone you know would be willing to join the effort ( or assist with future questions, being domain experts in Opt and/or Terra)? Since I would be targeting a publication, I am open to co-authorship provided reasonable effort/assistance.
