| Title |
Distributed interactive ray tracing for large volume visualization |
| Date |
2003 |
| Description |
We have constructed a distributed parallel ray tracing system that interactively produces isosurface renderings from large data sets on a cluster of commodity PCs. The program was derived from the SCI Institute's interactive ray tracer (*-Ray), which utilizes small to large shared memory platforms, such as the SGI Origin series, to interact with very large-scale data sets. Making this approach work efficiently on a cluster requires attention to numerous system-level issues, especially when rendering data sets larger than the address space of each cluster node. |
