ABSTRACT:
A data aware clustered system architecture is described for an image generation system. The architecture leverages commodity personal computers to provide the processing capability of the image generator such as may be used in a flight simulator. The architecture supports a data pipeline for processing stages of a progressive data structure for the transformation of data from abstract data to a more concrete form for the generation of an image. The architecture provides a multi-staged data flow that extends transparently from a single node system to multiple CPUs in a single node system, to multiple nodes in a clustered system or to multiple CPUs on each node of a clustered system.
