This paper discusses algorithmic and implementation aspects of a remote visualization system, which adoptively decomposes and maps the visualization pipeline onto a wide-area network. Visualization pipeline modules such as filtering, geometry extraction, rendering, and display are dynamically assigned to network nodes to achieve minimal total delay or maximal frame rate. Polynomial-time optimal algorithms using the dynamic programming method to compute the optimal decomposition and mapping are proposed. We implemented an OpenGL-based remote visualization system. We evaluated its performance using a deployment at three geographically distributed nodes. © 2004 IEEE.
