Improving cache locality for GPU-based volume rendering
We present a cache-aware method for accelerating texture-based volume rendering on a graphics processing unit (GPU). Because a GPU has hierarchical architecture in terms of processing and memory units, cache optimization is important to maximize performance for memory-intensive applications. Our method localizes texture memory reference according to the location of the viewpoint and dynamically...
متن کاملOptimizing GPU Volume Rendering
Volume Rendering methods employing the GPU capabilities offer high performance on off-the-shelf hardware. In this article, we discuss the various bottlenecks found in the graphics hardware when performing GPU-based Volume Rendering. The specific properties of each bottleneck and the trade-offs between them are described. Further we present a novel strategy to balance the load on the identified ...
متن کاملHigh Performance GPU-Based Fourier Volume Rendering
Fourier volume rendering (FVR) is a significant visualization technique that has been used widely in digital radiography. As a result of its 𝒪(N (2)logN) time complexity, it provides a faster alternative to spatial domain volume rendering algorithms that are 𝒪(N (3)) computationally complex. Relying on the Fourier projection-slice theorem, this technique operates on the spectral representation...
متن کاملGPU-Based High-Quality Volume Rendering For Virtual Environments
In medicine the knowledge of relative placement and size of anatomical structures is indispensable, especially in surgery and treatment planning. Therefore, the visualization of medical data sets acquired by Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become more and more important because it offers a three dimensional view on the underlying data even of inner structures. ...
متن کاملGPU-based Dynamic Tubular Grids for Sparse Volume Rendering
Dynamic Tubular Grids (DT-Grids) are designed to encode gridaligned data in level-set simulations. While they are extremely efficient for storing sparse volumetric data, they require logarithmic time for random access. We demonstrate that DT-Grids can be used to efficiently render sparse volumetric data that would otherwise not be able to fit in texture memory. For many real-world biomedical da...
