Hi all!
I am looking for an implemetation of povray that could be used with mpi, in
order to make parallel rendering in our cluster.
I have found an implementation called mpi-povray, but only works with the
version 3.1g of povray, and we need work with a newer version.

Thank you
Omar

Read the beta pages: 3.7 has MP capability

  3.7 has SMP capability, but it doesn't yet have clustering capabilities.

Thank you for your answers,

I know that the new version 3.7 of povray have SMP, but I need work with all the
nodes of my cluster, not only with one of them.
I have found others alternatives to MPI with povray that support the version
3.5, but I want to communicate our computers by the faster way, with OpenMPI.

Thank you,
Omar

Hello

MPI is a way to render faster but not the only one. It's fine when you 
already have an MPI farm.

If it's something from scratch, maybe you should look at 
http://www.dynebolic.org/ : the cluster way.
OpenMosix is another cluster manager, but not maintened anymore. 
http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/

By the way, "recent" achievements on P2P networks and SMP makes me wondering 
about a P2P rewrite for POV.
Just connect your PCs, let them talk and work, and get everything faster... 
For POV 5 ?

Regards,
 Luc H.
