Abstract: Applications of virtual reality requires graphic system to have the capacity of rendering more and more complex scenes in real time. It is natural to apply parallel rendering system based on PC cluster to virtual reality because of its high performance-cost ratio and good scalability. A sort-first parallel rendering system based on retained-mode is presented to study the key factors of parallel rendering efficiency. Implementation steps and experimental data are provided. The system is proved effective in parallel computing and load-balance problem, and capacity of rendering complex scene in real time can be achieved eventually.
