Allow direct mapping of objects with known master node

Stefan Eilemann — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:23:59 -0000

The view, load and DFR equalizers use the statistics to operate. This statistics are set to fastest in release builds, potentially skewing the results wrongly. Add a mechanism to force a finish in the last relevant operation even if statistics is set to fastest, or implement another code path to get the relevant data.

load equalizer: Turn off slave nodes for high framerates

Stefan Eilemann — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:18:58 -0000

Add a new load_equalizer attribute 'destination_only_framerate <int> | AUTO' which deactivates all non-destination children if the total render time does not exceed the given frame time. AUTO uses the vsync rate, which is to be added to the DrawableConfig and queried in the appropriate places.

Add Window FPS event

Daniel Nachbaur — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 13:16:46 -0000

Containing current FPS, average FPS, framenumber and window ID.

support distributing segments to multiple channels

Dardo Kleiner — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 13:25:15 -0000

aka "inverse monitor equalizer" - allow positioning of input frames such that a single draw can be used to feed multiple output frames

Node running after failed configInit of pipe

Daniel Nachbaur — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:33:14 -0000

If the one & only pipe on the node returns false after configInit(), the pipe thread gets destroyed, but the node is still alive and firing frames although there are no pipes on the node anymore

Support for orthographic stereo frustum

Daniel Nachbaur — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:03:38 -0000

..with enhancement for focal length changes, similar to support for perspective frustums (nearPlane / eye.z() )

Make sure implementation details are not exposed!

Daniel Pfeifer — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:35:25 -0000

Carbon, Xlib, GDI should be considered implementation details of the appropriate GUI abstractions. None of the exposed header files should include them! (look at eq/client/os.h)

try to compile the following:

#include <eq/eq.h>
enum Status { Bool, Int };

Add passive stereo detection to compound auto stereo mode

Stefan Eilemann — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 12:51:13 -0000

Augment the logics of the compound 'AUTO' stereo mode to:

if( segment renders left and right eye )
if( have stereo drawable )
use active stereo
else
use anaglyphic stereo
else
use passive stereo (select GL_BACK even for stereo drawables)

Support hostnames for multicast connections

Daniel Nachbaur — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:23:24 -0000

ATM, only ipv4 addresses are supported as input for multicast connections. Support for hostnames would be consistent compared to TCP connections

load equalizer: auto-disable of dest channel

Stefan Eilemann — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 13:26:16 -0000

If there are more than N (configurable) source channels contributing to a dest channel, automatically disable the dest channel source contribution (if present)
