Remote GPGPU computing

Hello,

I have recently setup a number of machines intended for GPU computing in my university office. However we (I and my supervisor) would like to access these machines remotely to make use of the GPUs for computing purposes. The machines have been configured to be accessible from outside the university network. My question is what are the necessary steps I must take in order to achieve this? Any direction will be helpful. Do I need some sort of OpenCL service?

I have done a lot of googling and the results so far have not been very helpful.

Main machine specs: AMD FX-8350 CPU, 2x HD 7970 GPUs running Windows 7 Enterprise.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

After checking out Microsoft HPC option I decided it was a little bit too much for what I wanted as I am just running 4 high end desktops/workstations with GPUs for GPGPU computing.

I found a solution! I installed Cygwin on the first machine and set it up to use OpenSSH and it's working as I wanted. All I need to do is repeat the same setup on the other machines. The programs are built with OpenCL and C++ AMP using Visual Studio 2012. I have been able to run the executables remotely on the machine so far, no problems. I believe this setup will let me leverage both Unix and Windows environment.

Thanks for your inputs I'm grateful.
