Abstract 

Display-sized full-parallax holograms with large viewing angles require resolutions surpassing tens of Gigapixels. Unfortunately, computer-generated holography is computationally intensive, particularly for these huge display resolutions. Existing algorithms designed for diffraction of typical Megapixel-sized holograms do not scale well for these large resolutions.Furthermore, since the holograms will not fit in the RAM of most of today{\textquoteright}s computers, the algorithms should be modified to minimize disk access. We propose two novel algorithms respectively for short-distance and long-distance propagation, and accurately compute the diffraction of a 17.2 Gigapixel hologram on a standard desktop machine. We report a 500-foldspeedup over the reference rectangular tiling algorithm for the short-distance version, and a 50-fold speedup for the long-distance version.
