Instant Feedback Rapid Prototyping for GPU-Accelerated Computation, Manipulation, and Visualization of Multidimensional Data

Figure 7

A dataflow graph to visualize a mouse CT volume. Both “3D Volume” nodes render a volume texture into a 2D image, given individual settings. In this example, the resulting 2D image is set to 4K resolution (3840 × 2160). An estimate of the time in milliseconds that a node spent computing on the GPU is displayed on each node, respectively. Any parameter/image changes propagate downstream, so that the whole graph updates itself as necessary.
