These questions are better addressed to the Chromium User's mailing list at [email protected]. I've redirected it there.

There are many different ways it can harness this parallelism, depending on your configuration file. It can do planar sort first geometry distribution. It can do sort-last parallel compositing. It can do many other variations. > 3. Can Chromium divide their rendering tasks into different machines in > the cluster, not based on tiles (rendering location), but based on > rendering objects? Probably. You might have to write a custom SPU to identify the rendering objects, but I think this is do-able in the Chromium infrastructure. -Sean __ Sean Ahern Oak Ridge National Laboratory AIM: ornlsean 865-241-3748 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
