[THIN] Re: Running an OpenGL app on CPS 4

Interesting. Sounds a lot like this product from HP:
 
http://h20331.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
 
Looks like both depend on hardware acceleration, of which we have none
on our Citrix clients. Even without acceleration, though, these products
may have benefit. 
 
Thanks for the tip!

        Spotted this whilst trawling for something completely different.

        Tulsa, Oklahoma Feb. 21, 2006 - A new plug-in is now available
which will dramatically improve the performance of all 3D OpenGL based
applications run on Citrix Windows servers. 
         
        $299 per user.

usability tests for a home-grown data 
                                analysis application that uses OpenGL
for display. We'll be testing on
                                Windows 2003 / CPS 4 on IBM HS20 blades.
I think it's going to feel more
                                like a GIS-type application than a CAD
or rendering application, if that 
                                categorization helps at all.
                                
                                Talking with developers, they warned me
that they sometimes have
                                problems with the app on "weird"
graphics hardware, but that turning off
                                hardware acceleration usually solves the
problem. If the app can work 
                                without any accceleration, I think that
holds promise for this app
                                actually being usable on a Citrix
server.
                                
                                What advice does anyone have about
running OpenGL apps via Citrix?
