A parallel out-of-core renderer with data load-balancing using the c-Collision protocol

GNU GPL v2

linux parallel opengl cluster mpi rendering out-of-core

This framework will serve as a foundation for my diploma-thesis. This project WAS under strong construction and WAS subject to frequent change.

• a decent linux system running X
• boost-lib (Version 1.38.0)
• openMPI-lib (v1.3.1)
• a decent nvidia GPU (at least with ShaderModel 3)
• OpenGL >= 2.0
• freeglut-lib (v2.4.0)
• alternatively: GLFW [http://glfw.sourceforge.net]
• glew-lib (v1.5.1)
• nvidia's cg-toolkit (v2.1)
• LUA to script the load-balancing strategies (v5.1.4)

• doxygen - to compile the documentation (v1.5.8)
• latex - to get nice formula-images in the documentation
• eclipse-cdt ganymede for development - project dependencies are included (v5.0.2)
• some free huuuuuge OBJ-Models from the web to render (like the PowerPlant or even bigger)
• spacenav-lib - to use a 3Dconnexion 3D-Mouse [http://spacenav.sourceforge.net]
