Main Methods:

  • A non-linear mixed integer programming model was formulated to optimize visualization and physics computations.
  • Client hardware capabilities were assessed using an exploratory proxy code to identify rendering and computing parameters.
  • Optimization parameters were used to dynamically adjust simulation conditions such as texture size, mesh size, and canvas resolution.

Main Results:

  • The proposed optimization model successfully achieved target frame rates (frames per second) on various client hardware.
  • Visual artifacts commonly associated with low-performance hardware were effectively resolved.
  • The technique demonstrated the ability to provide consistent simulation performance across a range of client capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optimization technique significantly improves the performance and reliability of web-based medical simulations.
  • Adaptive performance tuning based on client hardware assessment is a viable strategy for overcoming hardware limitations.
  • This approach enhances the accessibility and effectiveness of medical simulation for widespread training and education.
