What is DIVERSE?

• DIVERSE is
• free (GNU LGPL and GPL) software
• Consisting of
• C Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
• Utility and Example programs

18
What is DIVERSE?
DIVERSE is for creating Applications like

19
DIVERSE Toolkit Networked Asynchronous Simulation

• Remote shared memory
• Library C Classes to Build Server and
  Applications
• Networked Server Manage Dynamic Shared Objects
  (DSOs)
• DSO I/O Services Loaded/Unloaded on the Fly

DIVERSE Graphics Interface for Performer

• Uses DTK and Performer to provide
• Configuration via DSOs
• Display-Independent Graphics
• Coordinate Systems and Scene Graph
• Viewing Frusta
• Stereo Graphics
• Input from Real and Emulated Devices
• Many Navigation Methods

CONCLUSION
The remote shared memory architecture of the
DIVERSE API can be used to develop other network
centric command and control tactical interfaces.
