Abstract:
This paper describes the configuration of a cost-efficient monolithic
render server aimed at multi-screen Virtual Reality display devices.
The system uses common Of-The-Shelf (OTS) PC components and feeds up to
6 independent screens via 3 graphics pipes with the potential to feed
up to 12 screens. The internal graphics accelerators each use at least
8 PCIe lanes which results in sufficient bandwidth. Performance
measurements are provided for several benchmarks which compare the
system’s performance to well established network based render
clusters.
