A Bluetooth MPI Framework for Collaborative Computer Graphics

  • Conference paper
Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA 2006)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 4330))

Abstract

This paper introduces a collaborative framework that resides on top of the Bluetooth API. It is designed for Bluetooth enabled mobile devices to allow for the collaborative generation of computer graphics and message passing. This new library is called the Mobile Message Passing Interface (MMPI). Mobile devices generally have limited processing abilities. By combining the processing power of several devices, complex computer graphics can be rendered in a fraction of the time a single device would take.
