Virtualized Graphics with Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator Performance StudyģD GRAPHICS IN VMWARE VIEW ENVIRONMENT VMware has progressively introduced higher performance 3D-Graphics capabilities into VMware Horizon View. Finally, after our concluding remarks, the Appendix provides additional details of the test environment. The discussion of results also highlight how the benefit of CPU usage reduction may get partly traded off for enhancing end user experience. Then the summary results are presented and discussed to show how the Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator enhances end user experience, while providing costeffective user consolidation in high-end graphics use cases. The test environment, test methodology and a description of the workload are described next. The second section describes the value proposition of the Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator with 3D graphics, and includes a discussion of non-overlapping, complementary functions of a GPU and the Hardware Accelerator. The paper begins with an introduction to the basic terminology used in supporting virtualized graphics in a VMware Horizon View environment. With measured quantitative data, the whitepaper shows the significant improvements in user experience and reduction in CPU load provided by the Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator with 3D graphics workloads, making it an essential component of any virtualized GPU solution. This white paper describes how the Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator (previously known as the APEX 2800 Server Offload card) can be used with virtualized GPUs to more effectively support high-end graphics applications in a VMware® Horizon View™ VDI environment. Recent advances in VDI attempt to make this performance gap narrower by providing the capability for either a pool of virtual desktops to share a GPU or, to dedicate the GPU resources to a specific virtual desktop, depending on the user requirements. However, the user community who needs high-end graphics capabilities in their work (such as 3D modeling and simulations) were somewhat skeptical about the capabilities and performance of VDI with applications using 3D graphics, compared to the performance they can expect from a workstation with a dedicated GPU. INTRODUCTION Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is now a mature technology that is being adopted by organizations with increasing popularity.
