Equalizer
Equalizer is a programming interface and resource management system for scalable OpenGL applications. An Equalizer application can run unmodified on any visualization system, from a single-GPU laptop to large scale graphics clusters and shared memory visualization systems. Equalizer is build from ground up as a parallel, scalable programming interface, solving the common problems for any multi-GPU application.

Recent releases
- 03 Dec 2008 15:08
Changes: 2D and DB load-balancing, support for time-multiplex compounds, a statistics overlay, and ParaComp integration were added.
- 14 Nov 2008 14:40
Changes: This release adds support for DPlex compounds, an easy thread synchronization model, a new view API, and an update of GLEW to 1.5.1.
- 08 Oct 2008 10:51
Changes: This version adds initial support for 2D pixel compound kernels, a new OSWindow interface to simplify window system integration, and an eq::util::BitmapFont as a simple helper to draw 2D bitmap fonts.
- 17 Aug 2008 16:32
Changes: This release adds window attributes for accumulation buffer and AA samples, automatic 2D and DB load balancing (initial support), automatic image compression for 'slow' (< 2GBit) connections, and an improved statistics overlay appearance (auto-scaling and compression time).
- 17 Apr 2008 09:26
Changes: This version focuses on scalability, most notably by adding pixel compounds for fill-rate-bound applications and a performance increase between twofold and fourfold during sort-last compositing. The Programming Guide has been extended to 43 pages and covers various new topics.
