Abstract:

After researching the load balancing problem in parallel rendering, an adaptive load balancing algorithm for volume rendering is proposed according to the character of volume data. This method is an improved Whiteman algorithm, it calculates the depth of four vertexes of grid to set the grid’s value and used time statistic to control the occasion of redistribution. Experiments show that this method can effectively improve the stability and capability of parallel volume rendering.

Key words: volume rendering, parallel, load balancing, depth calculation
