Virtual laboratory MVP

One operator on site. Remote engineers on our VDI.

At House of BioHealth, ARGUS runs a small physical room: 4–6 desks with monitors and only one chair — for the office operator. Contract engineers work remotely on our virtual desktops. Agents orchestrate project tasks. Heavy compute uses LuxProvide / MeluXina as batch — not as each person’s interactive desktop.

How it works

  • One on-site operator watches the monitors: each screen = one remote engineer session
  • New person = new monitor + isolated Linux VM
  • Access via browser (Apache Guacamole) + SSO with MFA
  • Agents create tasks, accept artifacts, revoke access; they do not sit in the remote desktop
  • Human decides always — access, money, merge/deploy need a person

MVP stack

  • Guacamole
  • Proxmox / EU host
  • Keycloak MFA
  • Linux golden image
  • Vault
  • Agent | human task queue

Compute split · batch path

  • Interactive VDI

    Engineer desktops stay on the EU host / Proxmox. They do not run on MeluXina.

  • Heavy training & simulations

    MeluXina batch only (LuxProvide). Guidance from the Oct 2026 tour: ~€8 per GPU node-hour. Public / deck capacity: 200 GPU nodes, 800× NVIDIA A100 40GB.

  • Integration path

    Task queue → hpc-gw → Slurm sbatch and/or Flinky Models-as-a-Service; artifacts return to the queue. LuxProvide · docs.lxp.lu

No SSH allocation is claimed today. Batch access is requested through LuxProvide; the queue path above is the integration design.

Physical room

4–6 stations without chairs; 1 operator chair; live view of remote work; cost-efficient remote talent.
