High Performance 3D Graphic Users


Why remote workstation?

Pain points • Need to ensure data security

• Performance issues, large datasets

• Need endpoint reliability

• IT management complexity with dispersed DTWS deployments

Benefits • Security – just pixels

• Performance – dataset proximity

• IT management: provisioning, responsiveness to change

• Workforce flexibility (mobile, diverse, BYOD)

• Environmental factors (power, cooling, noise etc. in workspace)

No data Pixels only Storage High performance

Three dominant remote workstation use models

Remote workstation I need a single-session dedicated workstation in a data center to support my uptime-sensitive applications.

Pass through GPU (pGPU) I have demanding graphics workloads, and I need centralized and secure data access.

Virtualized GPU (vGPU) I need to share GPU resources and still deliver a workstation-class experience in a secure infrastructure.

Most common mistakes during POCs

Not optimal CPUs are chosen – Most CAD applications are single thread. More frequency, less cores !

Not enough vCPUs assigned to a VM – Assign at least 4 vCPU to a vGPU enabled VM since HDX requires CPU

Power Profile isn’t set to Maximum Performance – Ensure CPUs can reach their highest clock speeds

Servers don’t have enough memory – Memory overcommit does not work with vGPU

Insufficient IOPS – Workstation class users expect SSD performance since they use it locally as well

Wrong order of XenTools, NVIDIA driver and VDA installation – MontereyEnable.exe can be used to get it working again

Non GRID certified Servers – There are many flavors of GRID cards and not everyone works in every server

• Different airflow direction, etc…


Different solutions for different user types and use cases Remote PC and workstation user types

Workload attributes and Solutions • Data entry, very few applications, primarily text based • Shared HW resources for high-density scaling up to 1000s of

users • Often require NO graphics and low compute to deliver desktops

Basic/Knowledge (Traditional VDI)

Performance User

Workload attributes and Solutions • FULL desktop w/ accelerated graphics, high-

performance compute required • Blade workstation or DL servers with graphics

accelerators WS460c w/ GPUs

Workload attributes and Solutions • Fully virtualized desktops, running MS Office, using

multiple applications, PDFs, and need business graphics and multimedia

• Traditional VDI is only cost-effective for workers with minimal graphics or multimedia AND simple application profiles
