Memory Design of Dedicated Architecture for Volume Rendering
Jizhou Sun · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2007
A memory model suitable for dedicated architecture of volume rendering based on Ray Casting algorithm is proposed. Volume data is divided into subcubes based on the number of processors. A subcube is distributed to the corresponding processing unit according to the space coordinates. Each voxel of a subcube is stored in a given memory unit. The way of the assignment of subcube to different processors is introduced and the addressing scheme of the voxels is described.
