There's been some confusion as to whether you mean a Performer based
application running over several machines, or a Performer-based
application participating in a distributed simulation. Assuming you
mean the latter, we at MaK Technologies might be able to help.
MaK sells a variety of software to aid in the development and
demonstration of networked virtual environments, specifically those in
which participating applications communicate using the DIS
(Distributed Interactive Simulation) protocol.
Our VR-Link DIS Networking Toolkit implements the DIS Protocol, and
serves as an interface between your application code and a DIS
exercise. Our Stealth application uses VR-Link to obtain information
from the DIS network about the states of all of the entities in the
exercise, and uses Performer to interactively provide a visual
representation of the virtual environment.
The Stealth's source code, which is distributed along with the
application (it is based on SGI's perfly example), may also be used as
a starting point for developing other Performer-and-VR-Link-based
applications.
