To seek a low-cost, extensible solution for the large-scale data visualization problem, a visual computing system is designed as a result of a collaboration between industry and government research laboratories in Japan, also with participation by researchers in U.S. This scalable system is a commodity PC cluster equipped with the Vol-umePro 500 volume graphics cards and a specially designed image compositing hardware. Our performance study shows such a system is capable of interactive
