Abstract

Real-time 3D visualization of large datasets imposes a distributed architecture of the rendering system and dedicated hardware for image composition. Previous work on this domain has relied on prohibitively expensive cluster systems with hardware composition done by complicated schemes. In this paper we propose a low-cost hardware compositor fur a high performance visualization cluster. We show the system's design and the results obtained using Simulink [1] for our image composition scheme.
