Equalizer 0.5.4 – OpenGL Parallel Rendering
Categories: OpenGL, Programming Tags: Equalizer, graphics programming, load-balancing, opengl, parallel programming, parallel rendering
The new release of Equalizer is available. Equalizer is an open source project providing a minimally invasive programming interface and resource management system for parallel, scalable OpenGL applications. It allows an application to run unmodified on any visualization system, from a simple workstation to large scale graphics clusters and multi-GPU workstations.

The Equalizer example application running on the same display wall.
The following video shows volume rendering using three GPUs and dynamic 2D load-balancing. The tiling is adapted each frame automatically and transparently to the application by Equalizer. The data set has 256^3 voxels, and is rendered using 2560 slices using the eVolve scalable volume renderer.
