Slicer-IGT:GPU-IGT:01/09/08 T-con with Ben and Nicholas at 3pm Salt Lake City Time

Topics

Slicer Integration

Cuda Support Classes

1. Implement the host access side such as allocate memory, delete and so forth in vtk-Classes
2. Combining effort in:
   1. vtkCudaMemory
   2. vtkCudaAlgorithm
   3. vtkCuda
   4. vtkTexture

CUDA algorithms

Volume Rendering

Important features:

1. Lighting Model use multiple lights
2. use Z-Buffer from previous render
3. use Camera Coordinates and Projection Matrix instead of rotationMatrix
4. Color gradients rather than 2 colors

Volume Rendering CUDA module

Move all the code from the cuda Code into a Support Classes

Registration

??? what is the progress

Misc

Build

1. CUDA on Cygwin: use the --ccbin flag to set the compiler bin directory. (failed for me)
