Chromium Renderserver: Scalable and Open Remote Rendering Infrastructure

Chromium Renderserver (CRRS) is a software infrastructure that provides the ability for one or more users to run and view image output from unmodified, interactive OpenGL and X11 applications on a remote parallel computational platform equipped with graphics hardware accelerators via industry-standa...

Zusammenfassung:Chromium Renderserver (CRRS) is a software infrastructure that provides the ability for one or more users to run and view image output from unmodified, interactive OpenGL and X11 applications on a remote parallel computational platform equipped with graphics hardware accelerators via industry-standard Layer-7 network protocols and client viewers. The new contributions of this work include a solution to the problem of synchronizing X11 and OpenGL command streams, remote delivery of parallel hardware-accelerated rendering, and a performance analysis of several different optimizations that are generally applicable to a variety of rendering architectures. CRRS is fully operational, open source software.
