MATLAB: Hardware OpenGL while running remote desktop

hardware opengl

Hi, I'm using remote desktop to run Matlab on another computer, which has an AMD Radeon Pro 7100 graphics card. Matlab does not use Hardware OpenGL when I remotely control this computer, and even when I type "opengl hardware" (because it's a Windows 7 machine), Matlab would still use Software OpenGL. Software OpenGL makes my calculations and graphics very slow. How can I make Matlab use Hardware OpenGL while remotely controlling this computer? Or does my AMD Radeon Pro 1700 card not allow this?

Thanks in advance for your help/suggestion.

The remote machine would need to be a Linux system, and you would need to be using an X Windows server on MS Windows.

Traditionally X Windows servers for MS Windows were commercial properties, with Hummingbird probably the best known of them. If I recall correctly, the new Windows 10 facility to handle Linux programs includes an X server possibility.

MATLAB: Does MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b) crash the X-server session when I run the BENCH command multiple times

This could be an issue with the incompatibilities between MATLAB and the OpenGL driver, due to the numerous variants of OpenGL drivers for Linux. This shows up in the 3D graphics test portion of the BENCH command. When this type of error occurs, the X session is closed by the client.

Therefore, to workaround this issue, some customers have found it helpful to use the software version of OpenGL, by executing the following command after starting up MATLAB:

opengl software

This will force MATLAB to use software OpenGL rendering instead of hardware OpenGL.

MATLAB: Are there any known issues with MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and Windows XP SP2

We have tested MATLAB 7.0 (R14) against Windows XP SP2. In some instances the OpenGL routines failed. If this is the case, then first see if the vendor of your graphics card has updated drivers available and install them. If there are not any updated drivers or updating the drivers does not solve this problem, then see the following URL for further suggestions:
