چکیده
We present in this paper a theoretical and practical performance analysis of pipelined sort-last rendering for both polygonal and volume rendering. Theoretical peak performance and scalability are studied, exhibiting maximum attainable framerates of 19 fps (volume rendering with back-to-front alpha blending) and 11 fps (polygonal rendering with Z-buffer compositing) for a 1280× 1024 display on a Gigabit Ethernet cluster. We show that our implementation of pipelined sort-last rendering on a 17-node PC cluster can nearly sustain these theoretical figures. We finally propose possible enhancements that would allow to go beyond the maximum theoretical limits. This paper clearly shows the potential of pipelined sort-last rendering for real-time visualization of very large models on standard PC clusters.

متن کاملAssociation of Dowling-Degos disease and multiple seborrheick-eratosis in a “Christmas tree pattern”
Dowling-Degos disease is a rare sporadic or autosomal dominant pigmentary entity, in which clusters of papules and reticulate macules slowly develop with predominance in flexural regions. This entity is due to mutations in the keratin 5 gene, and is related with other cutaneous disorders. We report the sporadic form of Dowling-Degos disease in an elderly man with multiple seborrheickeratosis ...

Physalis angulata L., Solanaceae, is an annual herb commonly used in popular medicine in many tropical and subtropical countries. P. angulata extracts contain a variety of substances, but little is known about their pharmacological activities. In this work we investigated the in vitro antileishmanial activity of seco-steroids (physalins) purified from P. angulata. Addition of physalins B, F, an...
