I always thought a killer feature for OpenSG's clustering support would be automatic load balancing. OpenSG has a *killer* feature in sort-first and sort-last rendering that no one seems to show off. If it could use load balancing it would be even better. More specifically, imagine that you could tell OpenSG to rendering to N screens and that it has M cluster "servers" to use in the rendering. Further imagine that M > N (something like 4 screens and 20 servers). Then you extend OpenSG's sort-based rendering backend to automatically reallocate the server resources to the output screens dynamically at runtime. Basically you try to ensure that each server is fully taxed at all time. This seems very research oriented to me and is exactly the type of thing that I think cluster hardware vendors would love to have access to in the high-end rendering space. If nothing else, just having a student write a demo of the current capabilities so we could promote it would be great. I tried to get someone here to work on it but it never materialized.
