Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for configuring a plurality of networked slave computers to cooperate to collectively render a display. The method operates by specifying, at a master computer, compatible operating configuration for each of the plurality of slave computers, and communicating, across the network, the specified configuration to each of the plurality of slave computers.
Claims19
A, method for configuring a plurality of networked slave computers to cooperate to collectively render a display comprising:
- specifying, at a master computer, compatible operating configuration for each of the plurality of slave computers;
- and
- communicating, across the network, the specified configuration to each of the plurality of slave computers.
A method for configuring a plurality of networked computer clusters to cooperate to collectively render a plurality of displays comprising:
- specifying, at a head computer, configuration information for each of a plurality of master computers;
- communicating, across the network, the specified configurations to each of the plurality of master computers;
- specifying, at each master computer, compatible operating configuration for each of a plurality of slave computers;
- and
- communicating, across the network, the configuration by each master computer to each of the plurality of slave computers of a computer cluster associated with a given master computer.
A computer program for configuring a plurality of networked computers to cooperate to collectively render a display comprising:
- a code segment configured to control the reception, at a master computer, of specified configurations for each of a plurality of slave computers;
- a code segment configured to control the specification, at the master computer, compatible operating configuration for each of the plurality of slave computers;
- and
- a code segment configured to control the communication of the specified configurations to each of the plurality of slave computers.
