Abstract: State of the art scientific simulations are currently working with data set sizes on the order of a billion cells. Parallel rendering is a promising approach for interactively visualizing multiple isosurface variables from data sets of this magnitude. In sort-last rendering, each processor creates a depth buffered image of its assigned objects. All processors' images are composited together to create a final result. Improving the efficiency of this compositing step is key to interactive... (Update)

...updated by each processor (the active pixels) and only composited them instead of compositing the entire screen. Ahrens and Painter [1] compressed pixel color and depth values using run length encoding before transmitting them for composition. Other researchers have...
