Funded development, support, and professional services are offered for VirtualGL, TurboVNC, and TigerVNC at reasonable hourly rates. Services include (but are not limited to):
- Fixing bugs and interaction issues with specific platforms and applications
- Extending support to currently unsupported platforms
- Specifying 3D servers for use with VirtualGL, based on specific application requirements
- Designing complex, multi-user remote display environments
- Performing comprehensive performance evaluation and benchmarking
- Eliminating performance bottlenecks in existing remote display environments
- Integrating with various grid environments
- Accelerating/hand tuning image codecs
Thanks to a new General Sponsor, the VirtualGL 2.2 and TurboVNC 1.0 roadmap features are now funded. We are still actively seeking sponsorship for blue sky projects. Among the avenues of research we wish to investigate are:
- Performance improvements for high-latency networks, including possibly implementing a server push delivery mechanism for TurboVNC
- Dynamic image quality adjustment in TigerVNC and/or TurboVNC based on network bandwidth and/or level of user interaction
- Developing a VirtualGL client solution for Windows which provides stereo and seamless window capabilities and uses only open source software
- Windows 3D server support
- Prototype working with Microsoft Detours API and TurboVNC Windows server. Currently uses too much CPU time, because VirtualGL is reading back images and displaying them, then TurboVNC is reading them back again. Need to develop a direct shared memory image pipeline between VirtualGL and TurboVNC
- Other issues with Windows TurboVNC server (migrate to TigerVNC? TightVNC 2.0?)
- Performance improvements for TigerVNC (see this page for current baseline)
- Further performance improvements to libjpeg-turbo
- Add TurboVNC enhancements to the Java TigerVNC viewer
- Add authentication extensions, automatic lossless refresh, and other TurboVNC 1.0 features to TigerVNC
