Multi-Frame Rate Rendering
Multi-frame rate rendering is a parallel rendering technique that renders interactive parts of a scene on one graphics card while the rest of the scene is rendered asynchronously on a second graphics card. The resulting color and depth images of both render processes are composited, by optical superposition or digital composition, and displayed. The results of a user study confirm that multi-frame rate rendering can significantly improve the interaction performance. Multi-frame rate rendering is naturally implemented on a graphics cluster. With the recent availability of multiple graphics cards in standalone systems the method can also be implemented on a single computer system where memory bandwidth is much higher compared to off-the-shelf networking technology. This decreases overall latency and further improves interactivity. Multi-frame rate rendering was also investigated on a single graphics processor by interleaving the rendering streams for the interactive elements and the rest of the scene. This approach enables the use of multi-frame rate rendering on low-end graphics systems such as laptops, mobile phones, and PDAs. Advanced multi-frame rate rendering techniques reduce the limitations of the basic approach. The interactive manipulation of light sources and their parameters affects the entire scene. A multi-GPU deferred shading method is presented that splits the rendering task into a rasterization and lighting pass and assigns the passes to the appropriate image generators such that light manipulations at high frame rates become possible. A parallel volume rendering technique allows the manipulation of objects inside a translucent volume at high frame rates. This approach is useful for example in medical applications, where small probes need to be positioned inside a computed-tomography image. Due to the asynchronous nature of multi-frame rate rendering artifacts may occur during migration of objects from the slow to the fast graphics card, and vice versa.
