Ray casting, a real-life application for the visualization of 3D scientific and medical data, demands both high performance and high flexibility, and is likely to be used in future mobile devices, where low power is an important issue. In this paper, we show that implementing ray casting on coarse-grained, highly reconfigurable architectures satisfies these conflicting requirements much better than traditional architectures.
