Ray casting occurs in a virtual multiresolution volume, in which a hierarchy of page tables represents each resolution. Ray casting accesses the actual volume data by performing on-the-fly address translation to access blocks in virtual memory. If a data block is missing, the ray caster generates a request for that block and propagates the request to the visualization-driven volume construction.
