System and method for filtering a synchronization signal from a remote computer
First Claim
1. A method for filtering a video synchronization signal sent from a remote computer to a plurality of graphics processing computers, each graphics processing computer having at least one graphics processing card and a sync filter, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a stream of at least n sync signals from the remote computer;
storing the most recently received n sync signals in an array;
comparing an n+1 sync signal with each of the n sync signals in the array to form a comparison for each of the n sync signals in the array;
replacing an oldest of the n sync signals in the array with the n+1 sync signal; and
using the n+1 sync signal to synchronize the at least one graphics processing card in each graphics processing computer with each at least one graphics processing card in the plurality of graphics processing computers if the comparisons of the n sync signals in the array are greater on the average than a preset threshold.

Abstract
The invention provides a system and method for filtering a video synchronization signal sent from a remote computer. The method can include the operation of receiving a stream of at least n sync signals from the remote computer and storing the most recently received n sync signals in an array. A further operation can be comparing an n+1 sync signal with each of the n sync signals in the array to form a comparison for each of the n sync signals in the array. Another operation is replacing the oldest of the n sync signals in the array with the n+1 sync signal. A further operation is using the n+1 sync signal to synchronize at least one graphics processing card in each of a plurality of graphics processing computers if the comparisons of the n sync signals in the array are greater on the average than a preset threshold.

10. A system for filtering a video synchronization signal from a remote computer with a sync filter, comprising:
-
a dedicated network for sending sync signals from the remote computer to a plurality of graphics processing computers, each graphics processing computer in communication with a sync filter, wherein the filter is comprising; the sync filter with a memory device configured to store an array of n sync signals; the sync filter with a processor configured to compare an n+1 sync signal with each of the n sync signals in the array to form a comparison for each of the n sync signals in the array; the processor, further configured to replace an oldest of the n sync signals in the memory with the n+1 sync signal; and the processor, further configured to send the n+1 sync signal to synchronize the plurality of graphics processing computers if the comparisons are averagely greater than a preset threshold. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
