A Distributed Rendering System "On Demand Rendering System"

In parallel computing, providing the way for visualizing a large scale dataset becomes demanding. To provide a necessary levels of performance, there have been several software-based rendering system developed for general purpose parallel architectures. We have been developing the distributed rendering system focused on reducing network traffic to visualize a large scale dataset especially 3D geometric data. This paper describes the design of our distributed parallel rendering server (called On Demand Rendering System), and the possibility for applying this system to the visualization of high performance computing.
