nyx3<\/code> virtual desktop from which you can then access the GPU node (jabberwock<\/code>).<\/p>\nSet up procedure<\/h2>\n
nyx3<\/code> virtual desktop using your X2GO client (see our X2GO setup guides<\/a> for how to install an X2GO client<\/em> on your local Windows, Mac or linux desktop\/laptop).<\/p>\nRunning the application<\/h2>\n
jabberwock<\/code> by running:<\/p>\n\r\nvglconnect -s jabberwock\r\n<\/pre>\n
Running GPU (OpenGL) GUI applications on jabberwock<\/h2>\n
vglrun<\/code> which allows the application to use the GPUs in jabberwock. For example:<\/p>\n\r\nvglrun myapp.exe optional args<\/em>\r\n<\/pre>\n
myapp.exe<\/code> with any optional args<\/em> you normally pass to the application. The application will use GPU 0 in jabberwock. <\/p>\nSelecting a Specific GPU<\/h3>\n
\r\nvglrun -d :0.0 myapp.exe\r\nvglrun -d :0.1 myapp.exe\r\nvglrun -d :0.2 myapp.exe\r\n<\/pre>\n
:0.0<\/code>) will be used by default. Having more than one application use the same GPU will reduce performance of that GPU.<\/p>\nFurther information<\/h2>\n
