Abstract:
1. A multi-node computer graphics system comprising: a master computer capable of executing a graphics application; a plurality of render nodes configured to collectively render a graphics image in response to graphics data communicated from the master computer; a compositor configured to receive a plurality of video signals output from the plurality of render nodes and generate a composite output signal of the plurality of video signals, wherein the multi-node graphics system comprises selection logic executable by the multi-node graphics system to facilitate a user to specify at least one render node to contribute to the composite output signal from the compositor, wherein the compositor to receive via a video signal from the plurality of render nodes an identification of the at least one render node specified by the user, wherein the multi-node graphics system to include in the composite output signal only content from the at least one render node specified by the user via the selection logic, and wherein the compositor to eliminate from the composite output signal, content from video signals from the render nodes not specified by the user.
