VolumePro 1000 technology is the perfect complement for cluster-computing systems as it delivers the performance and quality required for rendering extremely large volumetric datasets. VolumePro 1000 is currently used for its superior rendering and visualization capabilities in a number of visualization cluster-computing systems. VolumePro is a feature-rich, special purpose single board computer with the following "cluster friendly" attributes:

Scalable Configurations

Multi-boards are easy to integrate
Improved external blending
Clusters configurable with up to 16 VolumePro boards; 16GB volume memory (4K x 2K x 2K matrix size)
4-10 fps in a 1Kx1K display window (assumes net & compositing is inexpensive)or 1GB volume (1K^3) in 3200x1800 at 20+ fps (draft mode)
