The hp visualization center sv6 is:
• A scalable solution for OpenGL display list-based applications that
provides geometry acceleration of aliased rendering that is greater
than stand-alone hp workstation performance.
• A solution that offers increased visual quality via anti-aliasing at
stand-alone hp workstation performance rates, or better.
• A solution that is scalable in any combination of performance, visual
quality or screen resolution; limited only by supported
configurations.
• A solution that is transparent to the application.
• A solution that involves multiple standard graphics pipelines
rendering a common model with a single view frustum.
• An OpenGL HP-UX 11.0 based solution only.
hp visualization center sv6 employs a parallel rendering architecture. It
uses dedicated accelerators for rendering portions of a given screen. The
resulting renderings (called “screen rectangles”) are synchronized and
displayed as a single image through additional hardware.
hp visualization center sv6 is based on a client/server architecture called
Distributed Single Logical Screen (SLS/d). This technology transparently
manages multiple clients that render portions of a given screen. Each hp
