We describe the implementation of a 3D visual tracking al- gorithm on a cluster architecture.Parallelisation of the algorithm makes it possible to obtain real-time execution (more than 20 FPS) even with large state vectors, which has been proven difficult on sequential architecture. Thanks to a user-friendly software development environment, this large gain in performance is not obtained at the price of programmability.
