Libre (Large-scale Interactive Volume Rendering Engine) is an out-of-core, multi-node, multi-gpu volume rendering engine to visualise large volumetric data sets. Libre is cloned from the Livre project in the Blue Brain Project space [source code] (https://github.com/BlueBrain/Livre.git).
Libre be mainly used for developing new algorithms with more recent versions of OpenGL, CUDA, Vulkan etc ( may be very unstable ) and is not meant to be alternative to original Livre that is developed by the Blue Brain team.
It provides the following major features to facilitate rendering of large volumetric data sets:
- Plugin-based data sources
- Plugin-based renderers ( OpenGL 4.3 and CUDA 8.0 )
- Highly paralllel architecture for rendering, data uploading and computations based on pipeline architecture based on C++11 futures.
- Visualisation of pre-processed UVF format (source code) volume data sets.
- Multi-node, multi-gpu rendering (Currently only sort-first rendering)
To keep track of the changes between releases check the changelog.
