The oil industries are divided into Upstream & Downstream activities. Upstream refers to pre-discovery activities & pre-processing activities, while Downstream refers to post-discovery activities & processing activities.
Most computations are done in the upstream activity and can be divided in to 3 main classes.
The complexities of these activities are described below.
Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) is a software technology that allows cluster based video walls to be created and used for large scale visualization applications. It essentially creates a large video space which is controlled from a master computer, and pushing the images rendered on that computer unto a tiled video wall.
Comparatively, the purpose of Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) and Chromium seems to be different technologies used to both achieve large scale visualization. The implementation of how it is done, however, seems to be different. At this point, Chromium does not seem to work well on Macs. This leaves the only open-source option of building graphics clusters to SAGE. This procedure highlights the main steps in order to create a SAGE based graphics cluster for Macs.

OSCAR is a opensource Beowulf Toolkit that is developed by some IBMers. it provides a nice GUI interface and i find that it is quite easy to use. A really neat utility. For complete documentation, go to http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/
