Apologies if this has been asked before , but depending on how I read the docs , I seem to get different answers. In the advanced background article on the virtualgl.org site it states why Indirect rendering is not optimal - but can it be done with VirtualGl at all ?
Where I work they run Abaqus on headless blade servers They sometimes sit on Linux workstations with hardware graphics cards and remotely run the apps on the compute servers and send the display back to the local workstation to render it. Is it possible to install VirtualGL on both the compute server and the Hardware 3D server and then use TigerVNC to get the output back to a PC running TigerVNC e.g Send Both GL and X for indirect rendering via machine with hardware acceleration and diplay result via TigerVNC on a seperate PC. Compute-server -> server(With 3D card) -> PC running tigerVNC client Can VirtualGL be used as above ? Obviously it is preferable to run Abaqus on a server with 3D acceleration but with the blade servers we use this is not possible. I can run an older version of Abaqus on the 3D hardware server directly and display it on the PC , that works brilliantly.
