Enclosing class:

SoLDMResourceParameters

public static enum SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies
extends java.lang.Enum<SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies>
implements IntegerValuedEnum

Tile cache management policy. This enum is used by the field tileCachePolicy.

It specifies when and how the tiles are stored in CPU memory.

For non-compressed tiled data, the cache policy has no effect. The tiles are stored as-is in the first level CPU cache during data loading.

See SoLDMGlobalResourceParameters for detail on the first and second level CPU tile cache.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
ALL	For non-tiled data such as DICOM or SEGY or in-memory volume, tiles are created when needed (to send data to the GPU) and both low resolution and full resolution tiles are stored in the first level CPU tile cache.
LOWRES_ONLY	For non-tiled data such as DICOM or SEGY or in-memory volume, tiles are created when needed (to send data to the GPU): full resolution tiles are stored in the second level CPU tile cache and all the other created tiles (lower resolution) are stored in the first level CPU tile cache.
NONE	For non-tiled data such as DICOM or SEGY or an in-memory volume, tiles are created when needed (to send data to the GPU) and stored in the second level CPU tile cache.

Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies NONE

For non-tiled data such as DICOM or SEGY or an in-memory volume, tiles are created when needed (to send data to the GPU) and stored in the second level CPU tile cache. For tiled data that is compressed (e.g. an LDM file created with compression), the compressed tiles are stored in the first level CPU tile cache "as is" to reduce the memory footprint (the first level tile cache contains only compressed data). When a tile must be sent to the GPU, it is uncompressed and the resulting uncompressed tile is stored in the second level CPU tile cache.

This mode saves memory but can reduce interactivity.

LOWRES_ONLY

public static final SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies LOWRES_ONLY

For non-tiled data such as DICOM or SEGY or in-memory volume, tiles are created when needed (to send data to the GPU): full resolution tiles are stored in the second level CPU tile cache and all the other created tiles (lower resolution) are stored in the first level CPU tile cache. For tiled data that is compressed (e.g. an LDM file created with compression), the full resolution tiles are stored *compressed* in the first level CPU tile cache (to reduce the CPU memory footprint) and the other created tiles are stored *uncompressed* in the first level CPU tile cache. When compressed tiles must be sent to the GPU, they are uncompressed and stored in the second level CPU tile cache.

This setting uses more memory but saves time when low resolution tiles need to be sent to the GPU.

ALL

public static final SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies ALL

For non-tiled data such as DICOM or SEGY or in-memory volume, tiles are created when needed (to send data to the GPU) and both low resolution and full resolution tiles are stored in the first level CPU tile cache. This mode is recommended for non-tiled volumes loaded from disk when the volume will fit in memory (generally true for medical volumes). NOTE: For an in-memory volume, this setting will duplicate the data in memory. For an in-memory volume it is better to use the LOWRES_ONLY or NONE setting.

For tiled data that is compressed (e.g. an LDM file created with compression), both full resolution and low resolution tiles are uncompressed when loaded and stored *uncompressed* in the first level CPU tile cache.

This setting uses the most memory, but saves time when tiles need to be sent to the GPU. It does not use the second level CPU tile cache.

Method Detail

values

public static SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies c : SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

valueOf

public static SoLDMResourceParameters.TileCachePolicies valueOf(int val)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified integer value

Returns:

the enum constant of this type with the specified integer value.

getValue

public int getValue()

Description copied from interface: IntegerValuedEnum

Returns the integer value of the enum constant.

Specified by:

getValue in interface IntegerValuedEnum

Returns:

the integer value of the enum constant.
