Apparatus, including a workstation (26) which is configured to receive a toolpath request and to generate a toolpath in response to the toolpath request. The workstation is also configured to divide the toolpath request into multiple service reel quests and to output the service requests over a local network (62). The apparatus also includes a toolpath calculation accelerator (80) which is coupled to receive at least one of the service requests from the workstation via the local network. The accelerator is configured to process each received service request so as to generate a calculation result, and to transfer the calculation result to the workstation via the local network for incorporation of the calculation result into the toolpath generated by the workstation. |
