VirtualGL redirects 3D commands from a Unix/Linux OpenGL application onto a server-side GPU and converts the rendered 3D images into a video stream with which remote clients can interact to view and control the 3D application in real time.

Features

  • "Workstation-like" levels of performance (when used with a high-speed X proxy such as TurboVNC)
  • Eliminates 3D data size as a barrier to performance
  • Enables 3D session mobility and collaboration (when used with VNC or a similar X proxy)
  • 50+ Megapixels/second on a 100 Megabit network (when used with TurboVNC)
  • Quad-buffered stereo support (certain restrictions apply)
  • Can be used with VizStack to remotely display parallel rendering jobs
  • Can be used with VirtualBox or VMWare to remotely display Windows OpenGL apps

User Reviews

  • Great
  • i am new to user
  • The VirtualGL is exceptional and that I will be more inclined to continue to urge it to my friends.
  • Thank you very much. I use VirtualGL to play on my netbook and render on PC with rich GPU.
  • This is the only software that works with Turbovnc on Plasma 5. Thanks for the great work!
