[Spice-devel] CAD calculations serverside.

[Jorgen.Davidsson at exait.se]

Hi

I'm looking at a way to run CAD from multiple clients for a low cost and 
the graphics calculations need to be done serverside since some of the 
clients connecting to the server aren't that powerful.

I was looking at a solution where we install a graphics card in the 
physical server and run a kvm on the server wich would then run CAD and 
deliver the desktop to the clients via the spice proocol. 
I've been reading up on the spice protocol and learned that it tries to 
lay over the calculations on the client-side but since some of the clients 
aren't that powerful I would need to know how the spice protocol would 
handle calculations requested by the weaker clients that can't handle 
those calculations.

Does the spice protocol automatically detect this and move the 
calculations serverside or will it still tell the client to do the 
calculations? 
If it automatically tells the client to do the calculation is it possible 
to change a setting where the Spice-server would prefer calculations being 
done serverside if the client has difficulties doing the calculations?

We are looking for the graphics delivered to the client to run smooth for 
those with client's featuring a strong gpu as well as those running a 
client with a weak gpu.

Excuse me beforehand if i cant explain my question in a good way but I 
hope you understand what I'm looking for.


Regards Jörgen
