Hi Peter
To paralelize the graphic output of DX you can use a distributed OpenGL
implementation like WireGL -
http://graphics.stanford.edu/software/wiregl/ - or the more advanced
Chromium - http://sourceforge.net/projects/chromium/ . They work as a
replacement of the OpenGL library and they are (almost) transparent to
the application, in this case, to OpenDX.
I hope it helps.
Kind regards
Xavier

Hi Jerôme
I just started to work on a similar cluster project, the main goal of
mine being to run FEMs that don't hit the 32bit resource limit. But I
also hope to use DX on it. I know there is/used to be an SMP version
of DX and there is a clustering tools called openmosix that may be
good to implement. I'm hoping one/both of these will be useful for DX.
We should ask the real guru's this, but there might be a hardware
issue concerning graphics cards since DX is, after all, a graphical
tool. I'm not sure how clustering will help the graphics side of
things......
As I say, I'm just starting on this, but found that the ROCKS
http://www.rocksclusters.org/ distribution is very easy to set-up -
like a couple of hours. Be warned though. the download is the slowest
part of the whole procedure.

Hi,
I'm opendx user on mandrake and i have a project, far today, to
construct a
cluster, with cheap PC architecture, like 2 or 3 dual processor + 1
server.
My aim is to make faster computing with FEM hydrodynamic solver and
faster
rendering/computing with openDX.
Does anybody have experience with opendx on cluster ? Is (or will be)
opendx
parallelized to work easy on a cluster ?
I will be very gratefull about advice, experience, architecture example
etc...
Best regards,
Jerôme, New Caledonia
