A survey and performance analysis of software platforms for interactive cluster-based multi-screen rendering

ABSTRACT

We present a survey of different software architectures designed to render on a tiled display. We provide an in-depth analysis of three selected systems, including their implementation of data distribution, sort-first rendering, and overall usability. We use various test cases to analyze the performance of these three systems.
