TG Enhanced Chromium

Tungsten Graphics today announced that TG Enhanced Chromium, a system for interactive rendering on clusters of workstations, will be available for Apple's Intel-based Macs later this summer. Chromium is an open-source project that features an extensible architecture for parallel rendering and improved computer graphics performance: it has the capability to run many standard OpenGL programs without modification. TG Enhanced Chromium includes the open-source Chromium project with additional components created and maintained by Tungsten Graphics. Tungsten Graphics also announced Equalizer for Mac OS X, an open-source rendering framework and resource management system for parallel OpenGL-based applications. Equalizer eases the development and deployment of parallel, scalable visualization applications by providing a minimally invasive" API, run-time configuration and run-time scalability. TG Enhanced Chromium on Mac OS X will be shipping by the end of August 2007.
