A few big pharma companies have tried this with no, or perhaps
very limited success. ChimeraX is primarily an interactive 3-D
graphics program that makes heavy use of the GPU processor that is
an integral part of every personal desktop/laptop computer. It
does not really make sense to run ChimeraX on a cluster and try to
remotely display the output on a user's display screen.
Potentially it could be made to work if the moon and stars were
aligned just right and all the different software packages were at
just the right version levels, but we do not support this use case
and do not have the resources available to help others try and
make it work. There are just too many variables (OS version,
OpenGL version, etc, etc) in play to make it worthwhile to invest
time into trying to get all the pieces to interoperate. I think
you will find this true of any application that makes heavy use of
OpenGL.<br>
