ANARI (ANAlytic Rendering Interface) is an open, royalty-free standard for developing cross-platform 3D Data Visualization applications that take advantage of modern 3D rendering and ray tracing capabilities. It provides a high-level C99 API for rendering 3D surfaces and volumes, using a variety of back-end renderers and associated rendering algorithms. It is developed by a working group managed by the Khronos Group consortium, and is described in the IEEE journal Computing in Science and Engineering[1] and the Eurographics 2022 Poster[2].
Implementations[edit]
The following implementations of the provisional ANARI specification are available and are expected to pass the Khronos ANARI Conformance Process when it is available.
History[edit]
Work to define the requirements for a high-level API that could simplify the development of cross-platform visualization applications started in November 2019 with the formation of the ANARI exploratory group.[7] On March 3, 2020 the ANARI Working Group was formed[8][9] to work on the detailed design of the ANARI API and SDK. On November 2, 2021 ANARI 1.0[10][11] was released as a provisional specification and open source SDK to enable industry feedback via the ANARI GitHub[12] before the specification is finalized (expected 2022). Organisations cited as being involved in the development of the specification include: AMD, Argonne National Laboratory, Autodesk, Boeing Company, delta-h, D/VisionLab, Intel, Kitware, NVIDIA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, SURVICE Engineering, Tecplot and the Texas Advanced Computing Center[13]
Motivation[edit]
Low-Level 3D APIs such as DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan abstract the low-level details of rendering hardware, and require application developers to take on greater responsibility for high-level 3D engine and visualisation development[14]. As rendering algorithms and hardware acceleration technologies have advanced, the complexity of building and maintaining such rendering engines has steadily increased, reaching a peak with real-time ray tracing and global illumination[15]. The combination of these factors led to the development of a comparatively high-level API that visualization applications developers could use to provide cross-platform access to state-of-the-art rendering engines. See Past Perspectives in the IEEE Computing in Science Article[16]. ANARI fits between these visualization applications and libraries that are layered above it, and lower level renderers, rendering software frameworks, and 3-D graphics APIs.
