I just want to check in and make sure I am thinking correctly. My aim is to serve hardware opengl accelerated applications to thin clients.
I wanted to use nvenc from a gtx 660, but this requires a developer key. So, for a prototype before investing in a $2000 grid card ( k1 and k2 support nvenc through xpra without a dev key), I will use the x264 encoder. Clients will run a stripped down linux that only runs xpra client in full screen, ultimately with a python based application or session selector interface. Server will serve applications (potentially virtualized desktops) at the full screen resolution of the client. The server will render applications on the gtx 660 before encoding. I believe this requires some hacking to make each application in a common X session (ie :100.1, 100.2, etc) inorder to "share" the gpu. I can do the last bit with X, ie I had two monitors displaying seperate hardware accelerated programs (like minecraft) from a single gpu through creative use of xorg.conf, so I'm assuming it can happen with xpra too. Has anyone done this before? Any heads up would be appreciated.
