====== X2Go being used to access High-Performance-Computing cluster at 
University of Pennsylvania ======

I manage the HPC cluster for a number of medical imaging research labs at Univ. 
of Penn, at the School of Medicine and other groups.  So a small slice of the 
big pie, with currently about a half dozen regular X2Go users who (very 
succesfully!) use it to remotely access our compute cluster and ancillary 
servers.  It really works very well, hats off
to you and your team.  Without X2Go, the performance of X11 apps is barely 
usable over remote VPN connection.  Sometimes we also use it within the local 
university network to get better graphics performance. One user uses it via 
cellular from his laptop on the train during his commute, going through VPN, 
and gets good response for a 2D image analysis tool we use.

<note warning>**Editor's Note:** X2Go does have options for image compression, 
like using JPG and/or PNG.  Not all image compression algorithms are lossless, and 
thus there may be artifacts in the images (i.e. the image displayed through X2Go may 
look slightly different than what it would look like on a regular X-Server screen), 
depending on which algorithm and which compression level you choose.

If you're using fMRI/X-Ray/Mammography/... images or similar medical imaging 
displayed through X2Go for clinical purposes (deciding whether a certain 
patient requires a surgery etc.), you should absolutely make
sure that you're using a lossless compression or no compression at all, or else you 
might be seeing things that aren't actually there, or missing things that are 
there.</note>
