:I think the situation described (one or a few high end graphics systems,
:many low end systems, lots of development on low-end just to test out
:"does it work", high-end used for full features and performance) might be
:very common. Within my company, I've worked for two entirely unrelated
:facilities, and both have had exactly that situation. Two other unrelated
:sites also sound to me as if they operate like that.
I think I should have been clearer about the question. Very many IRIS
Performer sites run the same code on Indigo and Onyx machines and
all types in-between. The question is if people want to run their program
on one machine and have the output appear on the other. We do not
support this and wonder what the reasons would be for it.
Since performance considerations *dictate* that graphics appear on a
local machine, what practical or application demands would be inspiration
for such a requirement?
