This survey gives an overview of the current state of the art in GPU techniques for interactive
large‐scale volume visualization. Modern techniques in this field have brought about a sea …

This paper presents the first volume visualization system that scales to petascale volumes
imaged as a continuous stream of high-resolution electron microscopy images. Our …

Recent advances in data acquisition produce volume data of very high resolution and large
size, such as terabyte-sized microscopy volumes. These data often contain many fine and …

A ray cast algorithm utilizing a hierarchical acceleration structure needs to perform a tree
traversal in the hierarchy. In its basic form, executing the traversal requires a stack that holds …

A recent trend in computer science and related fields is general purpose computing on
graphics processing units (GPUs), which can yield impressive performance. With multiple …

We propose a new, completely iterative traversal algorithm for ray tracing bounding volume
hierarchies that is based on storing a parent pointer with each node, and on using simple …

With the advent of programmer-friendly GPU computing environments, there has been much
interest in offloading workloads that can exploit the high degree of parallelism available on …

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of approaches to the determination of
isocontours and isosurfaces from given data sets. Different algorithms are reported in the …

While each new generation of processors gets larger caches and more compute power,
external memory bandwidth capabilities increase at a much lower pace. Additionally …
