Patent ID: 7634604

Claim:
A system for generating the display of synchronized images, the system comprising: a communications link; a cluster of nodes operatively connected to the communications link, wherein each of the nodes is configured with an ability to switch from a node with read capability and write capability to a node with only read capability and each of the nodes has a device driver operatively connected to a graphics processor, wherein the device driver is configured to handle an interrupt signal between a sender node and a receiver node and has a line enable register configured to determine if the device driver is configured to read via the communications link or to write via the communications link and an interrupt enable register configured to determine if the interrupt signal has been received, wherein the communications link is configured to provide simultaneous communication of the interrupt signal to at least one receiver node, and wherein the graphics processor is configured to receive a time synchronization signal; and a timing signal provider operatively connected to the communications link and configured to provide the time synchronization signal.
