Thanks, Ahmet >>> ttannert@sgi.com 03/01/04 8:28 PM >>> Hello Volumizers- It appears that there have been some questions about how to get evaluation licenses for OpenGL Volumizer 2.6. I wanted to publish some easy directions to help clarify the procedure. Step 1: Download the IRIX or 32-bit Linux files for OpenGL Volumizer URL: http://www.sgi.com/software/volumizer/downloads.html Step 2: After you download and install the appropriate files, you will need to get the evaluation license. This can be found on the SGI Key-O-Matic web site: http://www.sgi.com/support/licensing/ Note: This requires that you have a valid free Supportfolio ID. Step 3: Choose the Operating System you require and the Key Class is "Eval/Emergency" and press "Get a Key". Step 4: Follow the directions to get an evaluation license for OpenGL Volumizer. The evaluation license is available for 28 days. After this you can get an additional evaluation license for 14 days, followed by another 7 day license. After these three evaluation licenses, it is necessary to purchase a full license. For additional information on purchasing, please see the OpenGL Volumizer web site: http://www.sgi.com/software/volumizer/ordering.html Hope this helps- Thomas. -------------------------------------------- Thomas Tannert VSG Marketing - SGI 1500 Crittenden Lane, M/S 526 Mountain View, CA 94043 E-mail: ttannert@sgi.com Phone: (650) 933 5237 From info-volumizer-owner@els.sgi.com Thu Sep 9 06:17:05 2004 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by els.sgi.com (8.12.10/8.12.2/els-2.2) id i89DG63E2551798; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 06:16:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com (sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com [134.14.90.2]) by els.sgi.com (8.12.10/8.12.2/els-2.2) with ESMTP id i89DEtoO2697768 for ; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 06:14:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from praveenlaptop ([134.14.90.76]) by sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/980728.SGI.AUTOCF) via SMTP id RAA07725; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 17:32:41 +0530 (IST) Message-ID: <003201c4966e$ffd5d7f0$4c5a0e86@praveenlaptop> From: "Praveen Bhaniramka" To: "Bram Stolk" , Cc: References: <20040908190111.09af90e9@pistache.sara.nl> Subject: [info-volumizer] Re: [info-performer] SGI terminology Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 18:44:54 +0530 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 Sender: owner-info-volumizer@els.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: info-volumizer@els.sgi.com Hi Bram, (CC'ing info-volumizer) Hope you find the following info useful (IOW, hope the following does not confuse you even more!) - (Terminology used in subquent text - Multi-pipe system => System with multiple graphics cards) > -multipipe OpenGL Multipipe (http://www.sgi.com/products/software/multipipe/) - OMP is useful for running "multi-pipe unaware" applications on multi-pipe systems. This is completely application transparent. > -multipipe/sdk (which seems to be something different that simply an sdk > for the aforementioned multipipe???) OpenGL Multipipe SDK (http://www.sgi.com/products/software/multipipe/sdk) - MPK is useful for creating "multi-pipe aware" applications so that they would run on a multi-pipe system. This is NOT application transparent, hence you need to modify your application to include MPK calls and link with the MPK run-time library. > -monster mode Monster mode or Database decomposition - When you divide your data set across multiple graphics pipes to generate partial images on each of the pipes and then composite these results to generate the final output image. See figure on http://www.sgi.com/products/software/volumizer/techsum.html for an example. > -scalable graphics The concept of using multiple graphics pipes to do parallel rendering so that your application's performance improves as you add more graphics pipes to the system. In order to scale, your application would need to "decompose the rendering process" among the graphics pipes, so that each pipe only does part of the rendering. The output of these "decomposed" tasks are "partial images" generated on each of the pipes, which are then "merged/composited" to generate the final image. Monster mode decomposition mentioned above is _one possible_ technique to acheive performance scaling. Others are 2D (screen) decomposition, DPLEX (time decomposition), etc. > -compositors A piece of hardware which implements the compositing operation mentioned above (the process of taking partial images and putting them back together) by taking the DVI output from the graphics pipes directly. Alternatively, the application, could do a glReadPixels to grab the partial images from the pipes and then do a glDrawPixels to do the final composition. This form of "software composition" is implemented inside MPK mentioned above. > The reason I'm asking: > We have this onyx4, 8 pipes, 4 compositors, which we want to use > with vizserver. > > I need maximum performance to drive a single-windowed volume vis app. > (volumizer based). > > Do I deploy the the compositors for this, and do dynamic screen space > division?

This is really dependent on what your application is limited by (=> the size of the data set AND size of the output image). volview is a sample application which ships with Volumizer. It implements both 2D decomposition (dynamic screen tiling) and DB decomposition (aka monster mode) using MPK. 2D decomposition would only help if your application is pixel fill limited (since it divides the number of pixels generated on each pipe). Typically, volume rendering applications are pixel-fill limited. DB decomposition however would help with pixel fill limitation AND help scaling texture memory. e.g. if your data set exceeds 256 MB, it will NOT fit on one graphics cards' local memory. Hence you will need to do DB decomposition in order to get maximum performance out of the system. If the data fits on the local graphics' memory, you might as well use 2D decomposition only, since it is much easier to implement. DB decomposition requires a lot more work since you need to divide the data and then composite and blend the images in a back-to-front sorted order. The compositor does NOT support DB decomposition. Also, I am not sure how you would Vizserve the DVI output from the compositor unless you have special hardware to grab the DVI output. You can implement both 2D and DB decompositions using software composition techniques mentioned above. If your application is written using MPK, the composition step comes transparently since MPK does all the work there. If not, you will have to implement the glReadPixels/glDrawPixels part of the compositing pipeline yourself. Let me know if you have any further questions regarding this. - Praveen From info-volumizer-owner@els.sgi.com Thu Sep 9 06:17:05 2004 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by els.sgi.com (8.12.10/8.12.2/els-2.2) id i89DG6St2711458; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 06:16:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com (sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com [134.14.90.2]) by els.sgi.com (8.12.10/8.12.2/els-2.2) with ESMTP id i89DEQoO2693715 for ; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 06:14:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from praveenlaptop ([134.14.90.76]) by sgindia.newdelhi.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/980728.SGI.AUTOCF) via SMTP id RAA08656 for ; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 17:32:24 +0530 (IST) Message-ID: <003101c4966e$f5623700$4c5a0e86@praveenlaptop> From: "Praveen Bhaniramka" To: Subject: [info-volumizer] Fw: [info-performer] SGI terminology Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 18:44:31 +0530 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 Sender: owner-info-volumizer@els.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: info-volumizer@els.sgi.com Forwarding message from info-performer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bram Stolk" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 10:31 PM Subject: [info-performer] SGI terminology Hi there, I'm a bit confused about SGI's terminology.

The way to receive license upgrades for OpenGL Volumizer is to have a valid OpenGL Volumizer support contract. If you have a valid support contract you can just call up our support department and request a new license whenever a new release comes out. The alternative is to purchase a new license each time a major release occurs (2.6 to 2.7 is considered a major release). By having a valid support contract, you can save a considerable amount of money. For further details on this, please contact your sales representative who can help determine the exact savings for you. Just for additional information, if you purchase a license for version 2.6, it will work with all minor releases like 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 and so on. You only need a new license for major releases.

However I am pretty sure that you would need a 'different license for 2.7' (and any subsequent releases) since the licensing code looks for the current version string for every major release. Thomas will probably be able to provide more details once he gets back.

To use the built-in DICOM loader, you do not need to specify the module's filename. You can simply use something like the following (inline comments explain each of the fields) - // the following is the file 'pattern' for the DICOM files. // %03d is used for 3-digit integer values as in the semantics for // printf dicom/picker/I.%03d // in your case, this would be VZROOT/data/dicom/picker-96-6/MR.68%02d // use the built-in module - vzdicom. // User-string for optional parameters for the module - options // accepted by vzdicom module are exactly the same as the command line // parameters of dicomToIFL utility in bin/dicom directory. // -s and -e options give the file numbers for the DICOM files // these values in conjunction with the filename specified above will // be used to get the file names, in this case - I.001, I.002, I.003, ... I.087. -s 1 -e 87 +Wh 1 +obt3 // Since your data files are numbered differently (01, 03, 05, 09, ) // you will probably need to rename them // so that the numbering is sequential like the above example. To use your own custom DICOM loader, you will need to use the modules' DLL name (and not the lib name as you have right now). VZROOT/lib/vzdicom.dll Also, Volumizer prints a bunch of debug messages to indicate what went wrong during the data load. So if you can run the app from a console (like DOS prompt or Cygwin prompt), that should help you determine what error actually occured. hth, Praveen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Voxel Machine" To: Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2004 12:24 PM Subject: [info-volumizer] Loading DICOM Dataset > Hi: > > I have a small DICOM Dataset.

Write a data loader, which will load your text files at run-time and pass them to Volumizer for rendering.

You can use dicomToIFL to convert the DICOM series to a 3D TIFF file and then crate a simple XML file with the data file name of your output TIFF file. You can create an XML file and specify the DICOM series in the file (using a format similar to the command line arguments accepted by dicomToIFL) and load it directly in pfVolume node. There should be sample DICOM files in /us/share/Volumizer2/data/XML directory f you are looking for an example. You can modify pfVolume sources and insert your own DICOM loader (or use the vzdicom library and DICOMLoader.h header) to load the data. If I were you, I would try the second option first since it is the most efficient and fastest to implment. If that dosn't work for some reason, then try the other two. - Praveen On Wed, 29 Sep 2004, Fred Dech wrote: > hi. > > this is another DICOM file(s) loading question. > we just activated a 30day eval Volumizer2 linux license and are planning > on wrapping OGL VZ in a Performer geometry node; probably using the example > pfVolume as a guide. we normally deal with a series of DICOM files. > to pull something together in a short time, would it be advisable to just use > the dicomToIFL converter and load the data using IFILoader? is the solution > described below an XML file that would be called directly via > vzShapeSet::load(filename)? and is there another way to load DICOM files > directly? > > thanks. > > --fred > > On Mon, Sep 20, 2004 at 11:02AM, Praveen Bhaniramka said: > > Hi Rahul, > > > > Are you trying to load this DICOM data using the build vzdicom loader or > > using your own loader? > > > > To use the built-in DICOM loader, you do not need to specify the module's > > filename.
