Slicer-IGT/GPU-IGT/112707

1. Introduction of members of this project

• Nicholas: student from Tokyo
• Benjamin: student from ETH, be at SPL for 6 mo. till May 31, 2007. Experience in golfing simulator, histoscopy simulator, open-source game software. His project here is GPU accerelated Slicer for 4D IGT.

1. Nicholas update on his CUDA project

• Rigid and non-rigid registration using CUDA using Nvidia 8800 GTK (350GFlps) compatible with CUDA platform.
• Rigid registration (Japanese cas paper) *******to be filled by Nicholas ****** x12
• Non-rigid registration based on (Rueckert et al.). achieved x10-x20

1. Tool kit used

• CUDA calculator
• 8800GTX is CUDA 1.0 compatible
• XXXX is CUDA 1.1 compatible which comes with Atomic function to control cuncurrent access to memoery from multiple thread

1. Extension to ITK

• CMake turn on/off #DEFINE
• VTK VolumePro as part of volume redering
• ITK parallelized process
• [Action items] Mid-term goal for Nicholas is to port his rigid and non-rigid regstration to ITK
• [Action items] Contact Utah team hear how exactly they implement their ITK.
