OpenRM Scene Graph 1.5.0 implements parallel rendering
OpenRM is a 2D/3D Scene Graph rendering engine for Linux/Unix/Win32 layered

picking, LOD and view-dependent operations, text, and image-based data. New
in OpenRM Scene Graph 1.5.0 is direct support for distributed memory
parallel rendering when combined with Chromium (chromium.sourceforge.net).
This significant work is intended to be used by developers who need the
utmost in parallel application performance, and is designed to drive
extremely high resolution tiled displays in a distributed memory
environment. The “parallel OpenRM” is built to be completely independent of

to build parallel applications and still benefit from a parallel scene
graph.
