Lookup-Table at Time-Control (InVis-System)

A lookup-table ensures that the pipeline terminates quickly enough at the first iteration. It is initialized with estimated or measured values depending on data complexity at the start of the visualization process. The first parameter value is taken from the lookup-table and ensures that the visualization terminates within a short time limit. Execution time is measured during the first iteration and is compared to the estimation. If the visualization time has been too long, the parameter will have to be reduced. If the pipeline has worked too fast, the parameter can be increased.

The difference to the next iteration can be calculated easily by the relation of execution time to expected frame rate because the parameter has nearly linear influence on execution time of each step.
