Title Binary-swap and shear-warp volume renderer on the T3D
Date 1995
Description Large parallel machines give today's scientists the ability to compute very large simulations which may generate equally large data. Not only does having visualization tools on the parallel system allow the scientist to take advantage of the large memory to visualize the data, the processing power allows interactive manipulation of visualization parameters. We will describe a volume renderer on the T3D which allows us to take advantage of the capabilities of the Shear-Warp renderer and the Binary-Swap compositing algorithm to produce an image in sub-second times, several seconds faster than other techniques. An interactive interface using AVS through a FDDI connection is described.
