[osg-users] Feedback sought on osgViewer swap ready support for clusters

2008-04-14 Thread Robert Osfield
Hi All, I'm looking for feedback from users who have worked on clusters that implement some forms of swap ready synchronization. In particular I'm looking at any hooks into osgViewer to allow users to implement their own swap ready implementation, also a software based swap ready could possibly

Hi, fyi I also have need for swap sync across a networked cluster, but at the the generic OpenGL rather than OSG level. We've implemented an out of band handshake protocol in our network pipeline, but would be glad to adopt a GL standard if possible. So I'm following this topic w/ interest.

Hi Leif, Thanks the info, very useful. Do you still have access to the various hardware? I'm thinking of what we can do in terms of testing if/when we get code integrated into osgViewer. W.r.t swap groups and barriers, I am wondering about putting the group/barrier ID's as parameters of

Hi Robert, we have an opengl32.dll shim lib that intercepts and replicates the cmd stream to nodes in the cluster. at wglSwap, the nodes render and report back at render completion, then block til they can all swap together. What do you mean by generic OpenGL rather than OSG level? I mean
