The hp visualization center sv6 is:

•A scalable solution for OpenGL display list-based applications that provides geometry acceleration of aliased rendering that is greater than stand-alone hp workstation performance.

•A solution that offers increased visual quality via anti-aliasing at stand-alone hp workstation performance rates, or better.

•A solution that is scalable in any combination of performance, visual quality or screen resolution; limited only by supported configurations.

•A solution that is transparent to the application.

•A solution that involves multiple standard graphics pipelines rendering a common model with a single view frustum.

•An OpenGL HP-UX 11.0 based solution only.

hp visualization center sv6 employs a parallel rendering architecture. It uses dedicated accelerators for rendering portions of a given screen. The resulting renderings (called “screen rectangles”) are synchronized and displayed as a single image through additional hardware.

hp visualization center sv6 is based on a client/server architecture called Distributed Single Logical Screen (SLS/d). This technology transparently manages multiple clients that render portions of a given screen. Each hp
