Our system trades texture resolution for speed and uses effective prediction strategies. We have tested our approach for datasets with up to 16GB in size and show that it works well with less than 500MB of main memory cache for 64MB of 3D-texture memory. Our approach makes it feasible to deal with these volumes on desktop machines.
