Could you explain this usage of VirtualGL a little more ?

I am running ParaView render servers across multiple nodes, each of which
may have one or more GPUs. Each server does local rendering on a GPU on the
same node.  MPI takes care of job launching across multiple nodes. I am
hoping this would give me the best possible performance, so someone please
correct me if I am wrong :-)
