The Equalizer execution model is more flexible than a master/slave model. Basically you have the application, which is the controlling entity. You then have n render clients, which might render to a window and/or contribute to another channel's rendering. The classical vizsim master/slave model is a special case where all render client render to a display. > I haven't even looked at Equalizers code yet - I'm trying to assess the > feasibility in regards to time and effort in getting OSG up and running > on a cluster.

As said, it should be fairly easy to load a scene from a shared filesystem and render this. The data distribution is about building an infrastructure and implementing all the serialization code. Section 6.3 should give you an overview on how to do it. > I don't suppose there are any examples of implementing automatic data > distribution? A very simple example is the static kd-Tree distribution of eqPly.
