Abstract

We present the I3DC system prototype, which constructs the cube for tens of millions of data items within milliseconds, and provides high-quality cube visualization as well as highly-interactive OLAP operations. Our approach is based on a novel blending-as-aggregation (BAA) algorithm that maps distributive OLAP aggregations to the intrinsic rendering mechanisms of the GPU. Our system runs entirely on the GPU and requires no precomputations.
