+* Xplane WebRTC
+[[./xprc.drawio.png]]
+
+The Xplane WebRTC project takes inspiration from Google Stadia
+for a streaming based solution for playing video games. But our
+plan is to build one specifically for flight simulators. We target
+Xplane 11 for being cross platform and completely offline dependent
+on sceneries with reasonable documentation on usage of the SDK to use the game.
+The novelty of the project being all aspects of the project will be completely open source.
+There are already major segments of the project complete and have been tested which will
+be mentioned in the appropriate section for the necessary details. I am also investing
+in my PhD to familiarize myself to work with slim down kernels on HPC scenarios
+(This will help me extend the Xplane to run on a distributed scenario). This
+project is fun long term work and has no heavy deadlines but rather the art of
+optimizing the current paradigm of how we use heavy workload applications.
+The following above is a really high level abstraction description of the
+projects and barely covers the depth of what the project intends to push forward.
+
+The big question is what parts have been rebuilt for the project and how they
+contribute to the end goal of the project. The first property of the project is
+that it should be able to run on a p2p network. P2PRC is a p2p orchestrator designed
+to run applications in a p2p network using Containers initially. There are plans to
+extend it to run on Uni-kernels and based on my PhD extend it to run on a Multi-kernel
+paradigm as well. This will be our custom alternative to Kubernetes which will be used to
+distribute and run on workloads on p2p effectively. This would make our entire run on
+Anyone's machine which can reside behind NAT.
+
+We also intend to make an open source solution to distribute a slim down version of X Plane
+so that nodes can quickly Spawn Xplane instantly with only the required scenery needed.
+This will be in contrast to running the full scenery of the game which is around 55 GB.
+Something novel that could be worked on here is a novel approach to only send the scenery
+of the flight path when distributing the game. This will mean building parsers for the
+Xplane scenery files and then finding techniques to only get a correct set of scenery
+files needed in other machines. The techniques are expected to open source but since the
+scenery files are proprietary they are expected to be public.
+
+The streaming part of the project is expected to use the browser standard WebRTC sockets
+with the corresponding sockets. This is because there is already massive development
+of the chromium browser with GPU encoders and decoders for faster performance.
+We have already built a prototype which has been tested and seems to work as intended.
+
+The PhD will be one of a long term novel approach which will support Multi-kernels with
+TAG based architecture support for running C++ programs more securely. This might mean
+most parts of the PhD might not be used. The Multi-kernel approach is definitely an
+interesting area to experiment on to figure out how the project would use such an
+approach and this open lot of areas of future research and hopefully better
+performant flight simulators with better purposed algorithm to offload tasks to
+devices such as FPGAs or potato machines in abstraction layer similar to speaking nodes in an network.
