Abstract

This paper describes the experiments of remote rendering over an intercontinental optical network during the iGrid2002 conference in Amsterdam from September 23 to 26. A rendering cluster in Chicago was used to generate images which were displayed in real-time on a 4-tile visualization setup in Amsterdam. On average, one gigabit per second (1 Gbps) was consumed to enable remote visualization, at interactive frame rate, with a 1600 × 1200 pixels configuration.
