Implementing Immersive Clustering with VR Juggler

2005

Continuous, rapid improvements in commodity hardware have allowed users of immersive visualization to employ high-quality graphics hardware, high-speed processors, and significant amounts of memory for much lower costs than would be possible with high-end, shared memory computers traditionally used for such purposes. Mimicking the features of a single shared memory computer requires that the commodity computers act in concert—namely, as a tightly synchronized cluster. In this paper, we describe the clustering infrastructure of VR Juggler that enables the use of distributed and clustered computers for the display of immersive virtual environments. We discuss each of the potential ways to syn…
