Official documentation for the FastX Browser client is at Step-by-Step Licensing is by number of concurrent connections. These include Andes, Polaris, and Discovery. FastX is recommended for the graphical interfaces to rstudio, matlab, mathematica, idl, SAS, stata, spss, and similar software.įastX displays output in your web browser and can connect to remote servers that have the FastX software installed. Software that is optimized for local display on a Linux workstation, such as rstudio , can have much higher performance using FastX , or may be completely incompatible with traditional remote X11. FastX displays may be disconnected and reconnected while not interrupting the remote processes. Software on the remote system writes to a virtual display, which is mapped to the desktop display using a protocol more like a video stream than X11. It is a faster alternative to traditional remote display using SSH with the X11 protocol. FastX is a commercial tool for rendering graphical output from remote Linux servers.
