Systems and methods for evaluating the operation of a multi-node graphics system

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are broadly directed to novel systems and methods for evaluating a performance aspect in a multi-computer graphics system. One embodiment comprises selection logic capable of enabling a user to specify at least one render node for selection and generating logic associated with the compositor for generating the composite output signal, the generating logic being capable of eliminating, from at least a portion of the composite output signal, content from the video signals from all render nodes not specified for selection.

1. A multi-node computer graphics system comprising:
a master computer capable of executing a graphics application; a plurality of render nodes configured to collectively render a graphics image in response to graphics data communicated from the master computer; a compositor configured to receive a plurality of video signals output from the plurality of render nodes and generate a composite output signal of the plurality of video signals, wherein the multi-node graphics system comprises selection logic executable by the multi-node graphics system to facilitate a user to specify at least one render node to contribute to the composite output signal from the compositor, wherein the compositor to receive via a video signal from the plurality of render nodes an identification of the at least one render node specified by the user, wherein the multi-node graphics system to include in the composite output signal only content from the at least one render node specified by the user via the selection logic, and wherein the compositor to eliminate from the composite output signal, content from video signals from the render nodes not specified by the user.
