Wow that's great!
So, I'm a newbie and I want to understand how Paraview works doing this
parallel volume rendering... The approach used is a client/server
separation, load balancing is achieved by a kd tree (D3) distrbution and the
final image is composited by the server hardware alpha blending... Am I
right?
Is MPI used?
It's possible that the ordered compositing uses the Sandia's IceT library?

Cheers
Mario
