BDI co-funded CNRS and CEA/DIF, 07-10

CEA/DIF is cofunding a PhD these in collaboration with MOAIS. This PhD is focused on cache and processor oblivious approaches applied to high performance visualization. The goal is to study rendering algorithms (mainly volume rendering and isosurface extraction) for large meshes (irregular and adaptive) that are proven efficient without requiring the mesh layout or the algorithm to actually know the memory hierarchy of the target architecture or the number of processor available. We will conduct experiments rendering large data sets provided by the CEA/DIF on NUMA machines. We will also study the benefits of such approaches for programming GPUs.
