Issues

#326 GPU or OpenMP volume rendering

Reported by Matthew Turk

Either using something like PyCUDA, PyOpenCL or the OpenMP directives now in Cython, we should parallelize on a ray-level the ray casting.

This will require several refactorings, most prominently in eliminating any GIL-requiring items. This means no access to the base object.

Status: new Responsible: Matthew Turk Type: enhancement Priority: major
Milestone: 3.0 Component: visualization Version: none

    OpenMP seems like the way to go, with prange. In the volume_refactor bookmark in my fork Sam and I have a working threaded volume renderer.
