Sorted Pipeline Image Composition
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)The core advantage of sort last rendering is the theoretical nearly linear scalability in the number of rendering nodes, which makes it very attractive for very large polygonal and volumetric models. The disadvantage of ... -
A Space-Efficient Method for Navigable Ensemble Analysis and Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)Scientists increasingly rely on simulation runs of complex models in lieu of cost-prohibitive or infeasible experimentation. The data output of many controlled simulation runs, the ensemble, is used to verify correctness ... -
Statistical Analysis of Parallel Data Uploading using OpenGL
(The Eurographics Association, 2019)Modern real-time visualizations of large-scale datasets require constant high frame rates while their datasets might exceed the available graphics memory. This requires sophisticated upload strategies from host memory to ... -
Streamed Ray Tracing of Single Rays on the Cell Processor
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)In this paper we present an approach to efficiently trace single rays on the Cell Processor, instead of using ray packets. To benefit from the performance of this processor, a data structure is chosen which allows traversal ... -
Streaming Model Based Volume Ray Casting Implementation for Cell Broadband Engine
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In this paper, we propose an experimental study of an inexpensive off-the-shelf sort-last volume visualization architecture based upon multiple GPUs and a single CPU. We show how to efficiently make use of this architecture ... -
A Study of Parallel Data Compression Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition on the K Computer
(The Eurographics Association, 2014)The growing power of supercomputers continues to improve scientists' ability to model larger, more sophisticated problems in science with higher accuracy. An equally important ability is to make full use of the data output ... -
A Study of Ray Tracing Large-scale Scientific Data in Two Widely Used Parallel Visualization Applications
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Large-scale analysis and visualization is becoming increasingly important as supercomputers and their simulations produce larger and larger data. These large data sizes are pushing the limits of traditional rendering ... -
Task-based Augmented Reeb Graphs with Dynamic ST-Trees
(The Eurographics Association, 2019)This paper presents, to the best of our knowledge, the first parallel algorithm for the computation of the augmented Reeb graph of piecewise linear scalar data. Such augmented Reeb graphs have a wide range of applications, ... -
A Task-Based Parallel Rendering Component For Large-Scale Visualization Applications
(The Eurographics Association, 2017)An increasingly heterogeneous system landscape in modern high performance computing requires the efficient and portable adaption of performant algorithms to diverse architectures. However, classic hybrid shared-memory/distributed ... -
Through the Concurrency Gateway: a Challenge from the Near Future of Graphics Hardware
(The Eurographics Association, 2004)The computer graphics industry, and in particular those involved with films, games and virtual reality, continue to demand more and more realistic computer generated images. The complexity of the scenes being modelled and ... -
Time Step Prioritising in Parallel Feature Extraction on Unsteady Simulation Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)Explorative analysis of unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations requires a fast extraction of flow features. For time-varying data, the extraction algorithm has to be executed for each time step in the ... -
Time-constrained Animation Rendering on Desktop Grids
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)The computationally intensive nature of high-fidelity rendering has led to a dependence on parallel infrastructures for generating animations. However, such an infrastructure is expensive thereby restricting easy access ... -
Time-constrained High-fidelity Rendering on Local Desktop Grids
(The Eurographics Association, 2009)Parallel computing has been frequently used for reducing the rendering time of high-fidelity images, since the generation of such images has a high computational cost. Numerous algorithms have been proposed for parallel ... -
Time-Critical Distributed Visualization with Fault Tolerance
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)It is often desirable or necessary to perform scientific visualization in geographically remote locations, away from the centralized data storage systems that hold massive amounts of scientific results. The larger such ... -
TOD-Tree: Task-Overlapped Direct send Tree Image Compositing for Hybrid MPI Parallelism
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Modern supercomputers have very powerful multi-core CPUs. The programming model on these supercomputer is switching from pure MPI to MPI for inter-node communication, and shared memory and threads for intra-node communication. ... -
Towards a Software Transactional Memory for Graphics Processors
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)The introduction of general purpose computing on many-core graphics processor systems, and the general shift in the industry towards parallelism, has created a demand for ease of parallelization. Software transactional ... -
Tuning of Algorithms for Independent Task Placement in the Context of Demand-Driven Parallel Ray Tracing
