This paper presents an analytical model for parallel volume rendering of large datasets using GPU-based clusters. The model is focused on the parallel volume rendering and compositing stages and predicts their performance requiring only a few input parameters. We also present vl3, a novel parallel volume rendering framework for visualization of large datasets. Its performance is evaluated on a GPU-based cluster, weak and strong scaling are studied, and model predictions are validated with experimental results on up to 128 GPUs.
