My PhD work on cluster performance estimation led to an interest into scalable reconfigurable architectures for large scale interactive graphics applications. I moved from the Computer Architecture Group to the Graphics Vision and Visualisation Group (GV2). In this context I investigated with my PhD students and postdocs a scalable reconfigurable interface for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) as a closely‐coupled alternative to high latency cluster solutions. We also investigated a hardware message passing protocol that interconnects clusters of field‐programmable gate array (FPGA) directly as a cost effective alternative to a share memory solution. At that point I changed my focus from scalable rasterization hardware to scalable ray‐tracing hardware because I saw this as a potential solution for future large scale interactive graphics applications. I also believe that scalable closely‐coupled systems need to execute parts of their algorithm on microprocessors and other aspects on fixed function hardware (microarchitectures). In this context we investigated hardware‐accelerated collision detection and hardware accelerated construction of SAH‐based bounding volume hierarchies for interactive ray‐tracing with particular promising results for the BVH builder. Furthermore, we investigate joint acceleration data structures for collision detection and ray tracing. This work is now integrated in Nvidia's latest GPUs. Another interest developed through my research activities as Co‐Director of the SONY TOSHIBA IBM (STI) Cell Center of Competence Europe. We investigated some computer vision problems particular Skeleton Extraction and Multiple View Reconstruction. We also worked, in close collaboration with Sony Broadcast & Professional Research Laboratories, atreal‐time Cell processor algorithm for their professional stereo camera rigs. More recently my work addresses the problem of real‐time interactive visualisation of 3D scientific data, namely volumetric datasets, which are ubiquitous in many application domains such as Medicine, Biology, BioMechanics, Neuroscience, Fluid Dynamics and Veterinary Medicine. Specifically, this work deals with the problem of time‐variant and multivariate volume data sets which have become more readily available in recent years due to improved scanning technologies and simulation techniques. Such data sets are particularly difficult to deal with due to their computational complexity as well as the information overload that can arise from such visually challenging data. We employ graphics hardware and parallel computing strategies to address the performance issue, whilst information overload is dealt with using techniques from perceptually adaptive graphics, computational aesthetics and non‐photorealistic rendering which apply smart techniques to improve usability and understandability of data. I do this research in collaboration with my colleague Dr. John Dingliana. I focus on the performance issue while Dr. Dingliana deals with the perceptually adaptive graphics. Furthermore, much of my recent work focuses on low power architectures for computer graphics, deep learning, and light fields for volume rendering.
