These classes encompass most feed- forward parallel software and hardware rendering architectures that have been described to date. After introducing the classes, we perform a coarse analysis of the aggregate processing and communication costs of each and identify constraints they impose on the rendering application. The aim is to provide a conceptual model of the tradeoffs between the approaches as an aid to designers and implementers of high-performance, parallel rendering systems. |
