Abstract

Interactive visualization of large, multi-dimensional data sets has been limited by the computation and memory intensive nature of the rendering process. Interactive visualization has been possible only on relatively small data sets or at very low display update rates. This paper describes the implementation of truly interactive volume visualization and terrain rendering algorithms on the Princeton Engine Video Supercomputer.
