In this paper, we present a unified infrastructure for parallel out-ofcore isosurface extraction and volume rendering of large unstructured grids on distributed-memory parallel machines. We parallelize the out-of-core isosurface extraction algorithm of [9] and the out-of-core ZSweep technique [17] for direct volume rendering, using the meta-cell technique as a unified underlying building block.
