Title Parallel methods for isosurface visualization
Date 1999
Description isosurface extraction and vis utilization is crucial for explorative scientific visualization of extremely large scientific data. The shear number of polygons extracted and the subsequent rendering time limit interactivity. We explore two solutions to this problem: exploiting parallel graphics hardware and parallel isosurface extraction/rendering via ray-tracing,
