Abstract

See full text

A system is provided for rendering three-dimensional graphics. An embodiment of the system comprises a host capable of executing an application program that calls for the rendering of at least three-dimensional graphics in an application window, and logic associated with the host for apportioning content defining a three-dimensional graphics window to be rendered. The embodiment of the system further comprising a plurality of render nodes configured to collectively render the three-dimensional graphics window in response to the content supplied by the host, and logic associated with a first render node configuring the render node to be capable of rendering only a portion of the three-dimensional graphics window based on apportioned content that the first render node receives from the host and without content comprising a portion of the three-dimensional graphics window apportioned to at least one other of the plurality of render nodes.
