Abstract
NOVA*GKS is an implementation of the Draft International Standard Graphical Kernel System (GKS), built using a distributed architecture. The specifications for GKS present an implementor with many design tradeoff decisions. The implementors of NOVA*GKS have analyzed those tradeoffs and created a distributed design which allows users of the package to design applications which can perform efficiently on many different graphics hardware configurations.
