Hi everyone, I am trying VirtualGL for remote rendering on our visualization cluster and have it running by now. I am streaming to a GNU/Linux workstation using the VGL transports as of yet. The remote has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 GPU.
I measured the following framerates with glxgears: Locally, on my client machine: ~4500 fps Remote, without any forwarding or transport: ~27500 X11 forwarding (no virtualgl): ~4500 - ~11000 here the window stays black. Might that be related to the remote GLX implementation being nvidia and the local is AMD? If I test with another NVIDIA client, it doesn't work at all, failing with X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation). Is that expected behavior? Anyways using VirtualGL with the different compression types yields: proxy (X11): ~240 (with 370Mb/s of the 1000Mb/s LAN connection used) rgb: ~3300 (880Mb/s used) jpeg: ~3100 (110Mb/s used) xv: ~19300 BUT the client window stays black again. What can be reasons for this, and can I expect such a framerate realistically in case it works (on a high bandwidth connection)? yuv: does not work, failing with [VGL] ERROR: in operator=-- [VGL] 437: Invalid compression type Any idea what's happening there? I want to know wether these are reasonable rates/limitations, especially the jpeg transport which seems CPU-bound (using 140% cpu in top). Increasing -np did not change anything significantly. Also, what is the preferred way of contributing, just send patches here? I had to fix some stuff in the build system as well as the scripts to get everything up and running.
