Unfortunately this library has a LGPL license, so I'm going to use it as binary shared library and load it dynamically as plug-in.</div>
<div>Equalizer can manage both meshes and volumes and render them in a parallel way by using multiple graphic cards on the same computer or on a cluster.</div><div>It can be used without modifying the existing code. I'm going to do some tests and when I'll have some numbers on performances I'll let you know.</div>
