A Rotate-Tiling Image Composition Method for Parallel Volume Rendering on Distributed Memory Multicomputers
The binary-swap and the parallel-pipelined methods are two popular image composition methods for volume rendering on distributed memory multicomputers. However, these methods either restrict the number of processors to a power of two or require many steps to transform image data that results in high communication overheads. In this paper, we present an efficient image composition method, the ro...
متن کاملComparison of Two Image-Space Subdivision Algorithms for Direct Volume Rendering on Distributed-Memory Multicomputers
Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is a powerful technique for visualizing volumetric data sets. However, it involves intensive computations. In addition, most of the volumetric data sets consist of large number of 3D sampling points. Therefore, visualization of such data sets also requires large computer memory space. Hence, DVR is a good candidate for parallelization on distributed-memory multicom...
متن کاملA Rotate-Tiling Image Compositing Method for Sort-Last Parallel Volume Rendering Systems on Distributed Memory Multicomputers
The binary-swap (BS) and the parallel-pipelined (PP) methods are two well-known image compositing methods for sort-last parallel volume rendering systems. However, these two methods either restrict the number of processors to a power-of-two or require many communication steps to transform image data that results in high data communication overheads. In this paper, we present an efficient image ...
متن کاملCellFlow: A Parallel Rendering Scheme for Distributed Memory Architectures
CellFlow is an animation system that exploits frame coherency to implement a lookahead scheme of object dataflow. The implementation of this scheme uses the communication features of modern scalable multicomputers to achieve good speedup by means of latency hiding. We demonstrate the performance of our approach in the field of volume rendering by implementing incremental rotation of the volumet...
متن کاملA Comparison of Spatial Subdivision Algorithms for Sort-First Rendering
This paper describes and experimentally evaluates three adap-tive spatial subdivision heuristics for sort-rst parallel graphics rendering on distributed-memory multicomputers. In sort-rst rendering, image-space, or screen, is divided into regions. Each processor is assigned one or multiple regions to render. Primitives in the scene are redistributed among the processors according to region assi...
