Remote Testing

I have a MacBook, and I don’t enjoy burning my CPU at 100% and scorching my testicles every time I test GRAY MATTER. I’ve discovered a cool (pun intended) way to run GRAY MATTER on my desktop remotely and XBoard on my laptop locally:

For this to work, you need GRAY MATTER and an SSH server installed on your desktop, and an SSH client and XBoard installed on your laptop. On your laptop, launch a terminal emulator and issue the following command:

xboard -rsh ssh -fh domain.com -ruser username -fcp gray-matter/bin/gray

But replace domain.com with your desktop’s domain name or IP address, username with your username, and gray-matter/bin/gray with the path (either absolute or relative to your home directory) to your GRAY MATTER executable.
