Volume rendering by ray casting is a computationally expensive problem. For interactive volume visualization, rendering has to be done in real time (30 frames/sec). Since the typical 3-D dataset size is at least 1283, the use of parallel processing is imperative. In this paper, we present an O(log n) EREW algorithm for volume rendering using O(n3) processors which can be optimized to O(log3n) time using O(n3/log3n) processors. We have implemented our algorithm on MasPar MP1200. The implementation results show that a frame from 1233 data size is generated in about 3 seconds using 4096 processors
