Abstract. We describe a hybrid data-representation and rendering technique for visualizing large-scale particle data generated from numerical modeling of beam dynamics. The basis of the technique is mixing volume rendering and point rendering according to particle density distribution, visibility, and the user's instruction. A hierarchical representation of the data is created on a parallel computer, allowing real-time partitioning into high-density areas for volume rendering, and low-density areas for point rendering. This allows the beam to be interactively visualized while preserving the fine structure usually visible only with slow pointbased rendering techniques.

“…The resulting data sets consist of hundreds of millions to billions of particles for each time step, making it impossible to render in real-time, or even to fit into the memory of most PCs. One approach is to convert the particles to volumetric data representing point density, and use texture-mapping hardware to render to the screen [8]. However, the size of volumes that can be efficiently visualized in this manner are limited by the amount of available texture memory, as well as the fill rate of the available hardware.…”

This paper presents two new hardware-assisted rendering techniques developed for interactive visualization of the terascale data generated from numerical modeling of nextgeneration accelerator designs. The first technique, based on a hybrid rendering approach, makes possible interactive exploration of large-scale particle data from particle beam dynamics modeling. The second technique, based on a compact texture-enhanced representation, exploits the advanced features of commodity graphics cards to achieve perceptually effective visualization of the very dense and complex electromagnetic fields produced from the modeling of reflection and transmission properties of open structures in an accelerator design. Because of the collaborative nature of the overall accelerator modeling project, the visualization technology developed is for both desktop and remote visualization settings. We have tested the techniques using both timevarying particle data sets containing up to one billion particles per time step and electromagnetic field data sets with millions of mesh elements.
