Paper Abstract
This paper presents a parallel scheme for three dimensional data visualization at interactive rates. The scheme is
particularly suitable for multiprocessor systems with distributed frame buffers and is currently implemented on an AT&T
Pixel Machine, a parallel computer based on mesh connected digital signal processors with a distributed frame buffer.
Nearly linear performance increase with the number of processors in the mesh is obtained by partitioning the original
three dimensional data into sub-blocks and processing each sub-block in parallel. The approach is very flexible in
implementing a variety of visualization techniques, such as volume compositing (translucent models), binary-class and
percentage mixtures and surface based volume rendering.
