At ArrayFire, we constantly encounter projects that require OpenGL and run on a remote server that does not have a display. In this blog, we have compiled a list of steps that users can use to run full profile OpenGL applications over SSH on remote systems without a display. A few notes before we get started. This blog is limited to computers running distributions of Linux. The first part of the blog that shows the configuration of the xorg.conf file is limited to NVIDIA cards (with display). AMD cards support this capability without the modification of xorg.conf file. However, we have not been able to get a comprehensive list of supported devices. Requirements You will need access to the remote …
Jacket for MATLAB now available for NVIDIA Fermi!
We are pleased to announce Jacket 1.4, with support for the latest NVIDIA graphics processing units based on the Fermi architecture (Tesla 20-series and GeForce GTX 4xx-series). NVIDIA’s release of the Fermi architecture brings with it 448 computational cores, increased IEEE-754 floating-point arithmetic precision, error-correcting memory for reliable computation, and enhanced memory caching mechanisms. Highlights for Jacket 1.4 are as follows: Added support for the NVIDIA Fermi architecture (GTX400 and Tesla C2000 series) Jacket DLA support for Fermi Dramatically improved the performance of Jacket’s JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation technology Operations involving random scalar constants do not incur a recompile Removed dependencies on MINGW and NVCC Logical indexing now supported for SUBSREF and SUBSASGN, e.g. B = A(A > x) MTIMES supports …
