You should really manage your GL objects per GPU (pipe thread), once for thread-safety reasons, and more importantly because they are distinct for each GPU. Interactions, SG manipulation and other application logic should not need a GL context. > If im not wrong, this way i can manipulate my scene graph directly and all > resources will be valid.

Any other > suggestions with Equalizer? Typically you do have a GL state/context object independent of the SG used by the render traversal, of which you also need to have at lease one per GPU. In short, you have one SG and one render visitor + GL state object per pipe render thread. The core SG typically does not know anything about OpenGL.
