I'm currently working with Nokia and Linaro to lay the groundwork for this, by way of extending libjpeg-turbo to support NEON SIMD instructions on ARM platforms. I haven't actually looked at porting the client yet, however. The best approach would be some form of VNC viewer, since X11 doesn't exist on iOS and it's not straightforward to get working on Android. There are at least two VNC viewers available on iOS (including one from RealVNC), but they aren't open source, and neither of them is going to perform well enough to use VirtualGL at interactive frame rates. I have funding to work on this for Android (as well as test hardware), so that will be the platform I focus on. One intriguing project is vnsea (http://code.google.com/p/vnsea/), which claims to be an open source iOS VNC Viewer. It would seem that integrating the TurboVNC decoder into that project would be a fruitful way to get a high-speed VirtualGL client on iOS devices, but I don't have funding for anything iOS-specific. Android-VNC-Viewer is most likely what I'll look at integrating with (http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/), since it already supports Tight decoding and would be straightforward to extend with the Turbo decoder. Further, Linaro is actively looking at integrating libjpeg-turbo into the core Android O/S, so it may be possible in the future for me to leverage that without building my own version of libjpeg-turbo on Android. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
