%description
VizStack is a software stack that turns a one or more machines with GPUs installed in them into a shared, multi-user visualization resource.  VizStack provides utilities to allocate resources (GPUs), run applications on them, and free them when they are no longer needed.  VizStack provides ways to configure and drive display devices, as well as higher level constructs like Tiled Displays. 

VizStack manages only the visualization resources (GPUs, X servers), and does not provide any utilities to do system management/setup on the nodes. VizStack can dynamically setup the visualization resources to meet any application requirement.

For ease of use, VizStack provides integrations with HP Remote Graphics Software and TurboVNC/VirtualGL, as well as popular visualization applications.

* Wed Jul 14 2010 Shree Kumar <shreekumar@hp.com>
- Updated version number to 1.1-3
   - Few bug fixes
     - Fixed to work with SLURM 2.10 & above (Ubuntu 10.04, web download)
     - vs-manage-tiled-displays
     - Single GPU discovert issue on SLES
     - Fixed bad merge : included clip_last_block
     - Resource allocation sorting bug
     - Multiple shared servers in the same allocation
       weren't starting up right. Fixed this via a delay.
     - Updating state of multiple shared servers needed
       a uniq operation. Added that.
     - Fixed node name expansion when node names have leading zeroes.
   - Paraview script now supports shared GPUs for rendering.
     This is also the default. For dedicated GPUs, use -x.
   - Minor vsapi changes
     - include a hyphen(-) in the options for servers
       this allows usage of both - and +
   - Minor doc fixes
   - SSM can now take paths to various files. These are
     added for developer usage only.

* Mon May 17 2010 Shree Kumar <shreekumar@hp.com>
- Updated version number to 1.1-2
   - Many bug fixes
     - Fixed allocation of whole nodes, option added
       to viz-rgs, viz-tvnc and remote access tools.
   - Documentation split into admin guide, user guide
     and dev guide
   - Examples added for equalizer, SPECViewPerf and CUDA.
     These are mentioned in the dev guide.
   - Support for Bezels.

* Fri Mar 26 2010 Shree Kumar <shreekumar@hp.com>
- Updated version number to 1.1-1
   - Many bug fixes
   - Many improvements
     - Better algorithm for detecting GPUs and 
       GPU scanouts
     - GPUs now have an additional "stereo" capability.
       This allows allocation of GPUs which support 
       stereo.
     - Node specific weights to tweak order of allocation
       between nodes
     - vs-configure-system generates templates for unknown
       GPUs and displays.
     - vs-generate-xconfig can generate config file given
       X server spec. It also handles the 'EDID bytes' tag 
       properly

* Tue Feb 23 2010 Shree Kumar <shreekumar@hp.com>
- Updated version string to 1.1 for GPU sharing
   - Implemented GPU sharing. Changes touch most
     part of VizStack
   - Add option -S, -i, -x to configuration commands.
     These configure GPU sharing.
   - viz-tvnc and viz-vgl scripts allocate shared
     GPUs by default. A new option, -x is available
     to allocate exclusive GPUs.
   - File format of /etc/vizstack/node_config.xml has
     been changed. If you have an earlier version of
     VizStack installed, please run the configure
     script again; else the SSM won't start.
   - SSM uses the python logging package. Logging is 
     controlled by the file /etc/vizstack/ssm-logging.conf

* Tue Feb 23 2010 Shree Kumar <shreekumar@hp.com>
- Updated version string to 1.0-2 for new release

   - Fixed failure of configure scripts with nvidia
     r190 drivers
   - Fixed SLURM issue when uid!=gid
   - Fixed documentation, added troubleshooting section
   - Added ChangeLog section to documentation
   - Added "-v" for vs-test-gpus. Lets user check for
     errors.
   - Fixed "nvidia-settings" command not found when
     trying to enable framelock from a system without
     a graphics card. (SLURM specific)
   - viz-vgl : Starts a local client if allocated
     GPU is on the same node where the script runs.
     VGL_CLIENT and VGL_PORT can be used to point the
     script to a running vglclient.
