It's<br>
another way for using GPUs for volume rendering. Other existing VTK<br>
volume mappers like the Hardware Accelerated Volume Mapper also uses<br>
GPUs for volume rendering, but a different implementation.<br>
<br>
To simply use GPUs on your cluster, building with EGL indeed would be<br>
the way to go (instead of OS Mesa, for example). Then when you use the<br>
hardware accelerated volume mapper (which is default for image data),<br>
you'll indeed use GPUs.<br>
<br>
IndeX has a license fee for cluster use. I can get you in touch with<br>
the folks I work with form NVidia if you'd like. They should be able<br>
to elaborate more on the licensing options etc.<br>
