  • Assembly of a 16-board HORN-6 cluster system.
  • Implementation of CGH algorithms on the HORN-6 cluster.

Main Results:

  • Generation of a 1,000,000-point 3D holographic image at 1 frame per second.
  • Generation of a 100,000-point 3D holographic image at 10 frames per second (near video rate).
  • Achieved a calculation speed approximately 4,600 times faster than a high-end PC.

Conclusions:

  • The HORN-6 cluster system enables high-speed CGH.
  • The developed system approaches real-time holographic display capabilities.
