![]() | Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D. | Distributed interactive ray tracing for large volume visualization | 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, ... | Ray tracing; Volume rendering; Large data; Cluster computing; Distributed shared memory | 2003 |

![]() | Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.; Shirley, Peter S. | Parallel methods for isosurface visualization | 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 hardw... | Isosurfaces; Ray tracing; Large data | 1999 |
