From: Marc Bernatchez Subject: TECH: Parallelism and VR Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 16:27:53 -0500 Hi all, You would do me a big favor if you could tell me what are the current standard parallel protocols in use in today's VR systems. I have heard of PVM (parallel virtual machines). From what I've been told, it's pretty inadequate to real time VR applications due to its poor speed performances. I'm asking you, VR people who design VR worlds using networked workstations, to tell me what you use. Do you use in-house, custom made APIs or do you use any kind of already established standards. Please specify on which platform you design these systems as well. Thanks to all of you who will take time to answer this.
