New ANARI API will streamline data visualization   Analytic rendering is image generation performed primarily to gain and communicate insights into complex data sets. Scientific visualization is the primary application domain using analytic rendering today, followed by the emerging data analytics space. Recent advances in rendering technology for image generation—especially the introduction of real-time ray tracing—significantly advanced data visualization and aided in the interpretation of complex data. However, analytic rendering can lead to increased development costs and complexity that expands project time. Graphics standards such as Khronos’ Vulkan API and its much-anticipated upcoming ray tracing extension, provide powerful rendering hardware
