Launch GUI applications, hardware-accelerated graphics, Jupyter/RStudio
notebooks, Ollama chat sessions and Windows desktops on Slurm - without
users having to know SSH, VirtualGL or srun exist. GfxLauncher provides
a configurable launcher UI (gfxlaunch) plus a tool that generates
desktop menus and shortcuts for it (gfxmenu).
New to GfxLauncher? Start with the Quickstart - a working desktop menu entry in four steps - or see Technical overview for how each launch method works under the hood.
Install with pip and get one application launching from a desktop menu in a few minutes.
PyPI install, source package layout, and the runtime environment GfxLauncher expects.
gfxlauncher.conf reference: Slurm partitions, features, groups,
and the Jupyter/RStudio/Ollama backends.
Every command line switch for the launcher UI, with examples for each launch method.
##LDT script tags and generating desktop menus/shortcuts for
your applications.
Configuring nodes with pam_exec so launched applications get the job’s resource limits.
