Multi-stream based rendering task distribution on graphics cluster

Graphics cluster based parallel rendering has been widely used in computer aided design, scientific visualization, geometry scene rendering, virtual reality and so on. The key to high performance on graphics cluster is rendering task distribution strategy. According to multi-stream based data organization in Direct3D, this paper has presented sort-first multi-steam based rendering task distribution algorithm. Our algorithm includes three main steps that is data parsing, data distribution and data rematching. Experimental results have demonstrated that our algorithm can promote rendering performance to a great extent running on graphics cluster.
