Overview

The HP Parallel Compositing Library provides a set of software functions that facilitate development of parallel graphics applications. The library provides mechanisms for describing the desired compositing, the participating nodes contributing partial images, input data, and desired output. It handles communication and synchronization between nodes, and implements logic for combining pixels from partial images (produced by individual graphic nodes) to properly construct a complete image for each frame. The library provides extensibility for creating new compositing operators. The functions of the library are accessible via a documented parallel compositing API.

The HP Parallel Compositing Library benefits scientists, researchers and engineers doing complex and demanding scientific and industrial visualization in segments such as scientific research, CAE, O&G, defense, life-sciences, medical-imaging and DCC/animation. Customers gain insight into scientific and engineering problems using cost-effective graphics clusters, open systems and industry standards, previously not possible with proprietary and expensive visualization systems.

The HP Parallel Compositing Library visualization software for Linux is available now on open source.
