Equalizer BOF at Eurographics next week - Agenda

[Stefan Eilemann]

Dear all,

We have an interesting set of presentations for the Equalizer BOF next  
week. In particular, integration with OpenSceneGraph is a hot topic  
these days, with one presentation and a strong interest in discussions  
about it.

Please have a look at the full agenda below.


I hope to see you all in a week,

Stefan.

We will be holding an Equalizer Birds-Of-a-Feather meeting during  
Eurographics'09 - mark your calendars:

Place: Eurographics 2009, TU Munich
Date: Tuesday, March 31, 15:00-16:30
Room: MI 02.13.010

Co-located with EG is the Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics  
and Visualization, so there is yet another good reason to come to  
Munich!

Schedule

15:00-15:20 Equalizer: Past, Present and Future, Stefan Eilemann,  
Eyescale Software GmbH
15:20-15:40 Virtual Architecture with Equalizer and OpenSceneGraph,  
Julia Sigmund, University of Siegen
15:40-16:00 Performance Optimizations for Image Compositing, Renato  
Pajarola, University of Zurich
16:00-16:30 Questions and Answers, Open Discussion
Equalizer: Past, Present and Future


In this presentation we will provide an overview of the roots, current  
state and future work on the Equalizer parallel rendering framework.  
Hot new features, e.g., dynamic frame resolution and the layout API  
will receive special attention.

Virtual Architecture with Equalizer and OpenSceneGraph


In the context of a project work for virtual architecture we combined  
Equalizer and OpenSceneGraph. Special consideration was given to the  
flexibility of the parallel rendering capabilities. The presentation  
reviews the synthesis of Equalizer and OpenSceneGraph for our virtual  
reality environment.

Performance Optimizations for Image Compositing

We will briefly review the current performance bottlenecks in  
Equalizer and provide some preliminary information on our research to  
eliminate the major issues.

Q&A, Open Discussion

A relaxed get-together for current and future Equalizer developers. We  
encourage an open exchange of ideas, current and futures usage around  
Equalizer and other parallel rendering software. Getting to know each  
other and finding synergies between different parallel rendering  
applications is the other objective for this meeting.
