Equalizer - Parallel Rendering

We are pleased to announce the release of Equalizer 0.2, a framework for the development and deployment of scalable multipipe OpenGL applications.Equalizer 0.2 adds support for scalable rendering, by using multiple CPU's, GPU's and computers to scale ... [More] the rendering performance of a single view. It is intended as a preview and evaluation snapshot for application developers and early adopters. This release supports the following features: * Sort-first (2D), sort-last (DB) and eye task decomposition. * Tile-based reassembly for sort-first and eye recomposition. * Flexible recomposition engine for parallel compositing, including, but not limited to, direct send and binary swap sort-last compositing. * Fast image compression for network transfers based on a modified RLE algorithm. * Z-based sort-last compositing of polygonal data. * Support for ordered alpha-based compositing of volumetric data. * Support for dynamic near and far planes. * Initial implementation of a statistics API.More information about this release can be found at: http://www.equalizergraphics.com.

Equalizer a programming interface and resource management system for scalable graphics applications for shared memory and distributed visualization systems. After more than one year of development, Equalizer has now reached a state where other ... [More] developers may start contributing to the project, and start building applications using the programming interface. Currently implemented is the functionality of rendering to multiple display in parallel (swap-synchronized or unsynchronized), e.g., for display walls, curved screens or multipipe workstations. The configuration is loaded from a simple ASCII configuration file. A simple example with basic event handling is provided. You can learn more about the project at the sourceforge project website (http://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizer) or at http://www.equalizergraphics.com. Developers are encouraged to contact us for any questions, proposals or other topics regarding Equalizer. [Less]
