ROVER

Abstract

ROVER Is an application for distributed-memory volume rendering and simulated radiography focused on many-core architectures (e.g., GPU, CPU, and MIC). Volume rendering, also known as volume visualization, is a commonly used scientific visualization algorithm that enables users to visualize an entire scalar field at once by mapping scalar values to colors and transparency. Simulated radiography Is a generalization of the volume rendering algorithm from four color channels (I.e., red, green, blue, and transparency) to an arbitrary number of channels representing material opacities in discrete energy groups, measured In electron volts.
