Parallel graphics and visualization

Parallel graphics and visualization

Computer graphics and visualization are very active fields of Computer Science, continuously producing new and exciting results. However, the demand for increasingly faster feedback together with the huge volume of data usually associated with these applications, result on growing computational requirements. An efficient utilization of a multiplicity of computational and visualization resources...

Beyond the Renderer: Software Architecture for Parallel Graphics and Visualization

As numerous implementations have demonstrated, software-based parallel rendering is an effective way to obtain the needed computational power for a variety of challenging applications in computer graphics and scientific visualization. To fully realize their potential, however, parallel renderers need to be integrated into a complete environment for generating, manipulating, and delivering visua...

A Heterogeneous Graphics Procedure for Visualization of Massively Parallel Solutions *

P. J. Crossno, et. al. * Accepted for presentation at ASME Fluids Engineering Conference, June 20-24, 1993 Washington, D.C. ABSTRACT Scientific visualization is playing an increasingly important role in the analysis and interpretation of massively parallel CFD simulations due to the enormous volume of data that can be generated on these machines. In this paper we will describe the development o...

Parallel Accelerated lsocontouring for Out-of-Core Visualization - Parallel Visualization and Graphics Symposium, 1999. Proceedings. 1999 IEEE`

In this paper we introduce a scheme for static analysis that allows us to partition large geometric datasets at multiple levels of granularity to achieve both load balancing in parallel computations and minimal access to secondary memory in out-of-core computations. The idea is illustrated and fully exploited for the case of isosurface extraction, but extendible to a class of algorithms based o...
