                         rendering system. In order to achieve load balance among the 
                         rendering nodes, we propose a new partitioning scheme based on the 
                         rendering time of the previous frame. The proposed load-balancing 
                         algorithm is very simple to be implemented and works well for both 
                         geometry- and rasterization-bound models. We also propose a 
                         strategy to assign tiles to rendering nodes that effectively uses 
                         the available graphics resources, thus improving rendering 
                         performance.",
