Achieving Better Energy Efficiency in Volume Analysis and Direct Volume Rendering Descriptor Computation
Jacob D. Hauenstein,
Timothy S. Newman
Abstract:Approaches aimed at achieving improved energy efficiency for determination of descriptors—used in volumetric data analysis and one common mode of scientific visualisation—in one x86-class setting are described and evaluated. These approaches are evaluated against standard approaches for the computational setting. In all, six approaches for improved efficiency are considered. Four of them are computation-based. The other two are memory-based. The descriptors are classic gradient and curvature descriptors. In ad… Show more
