XMegaWall: A Super High-Resolution Tiled Display using a PC Cluster

This paper presents design criteria for mak- ing a super high-resolution tiled display, and describes our experience in building and utilizing that display. In particular, we emphasize on how our tiled display frame- work is designed, and how we derive high-performance visualization capabilities using a commodity PC cluster integrated into our display framework. Further, we show how our display can be efiectively used as a powerful display technology by demonstrating four applications, such as High-Resolution 2D Viewer, 3D Graphics Ren- derer, Movie Player, and Windows Application Viewer.
