Adaptive and Scalable Load Balancing Scheme for Sort-Last Parallel Volume Rendering on GPU Clusters

Tags:
load balancing

Overview Sort-last parallel rendering using a cluster of GPUs has been widely used as an efficient method for visualizing large-scale volume datasets. The performance of this method is constrained by load balancing when data parallelism is included. In previous works static partitioning could lead to self-balance when only task level parallelism is included. This paper presents a load balancing scheme that adapts to the characteristic of volume dataset when data parallelism is also employed. It effectively combines the hierarchical data structures (octree and BSP tree) in order to skip empty regions and distribute workload to corresponding rendering nodes. Moreover, it also exploits a 3D clustering method to determine visibility order and save the AGP bandwidths on each rendering node.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
