GPU for the masses with XenApp / XenDesktop! -

It used to be that when Citrix administrators heard the term "GPU" with XenApp / XenDesktop, many would think only professional high-end graphics.

After Citrix this type of graphics delivery pioneer back in 06 with Boeing, which resulted in the release of HDX 3D Pro technology for the industry in 09 Delivering AutoDesk, CATIA and other intensive 3D applications no longer necessary, local hardware and physical location constraints. These workloads might designers delivered almost anywhere in the world on virtually any type of device.

Well, at the end of 2015, GPUs are ready to prove themselves in prime time daily workloads with XenApp / XenDesktop.

A Web browser is one of the most widely published applications to (especially on a proper compatibility, compliance, etc. with corporate Web applications). Today's Internet / intranet content often contains many high-resolution photos that need to be made

Regular Office applications can now enormously also benefit from GPU acceleration, .:

  • Web browser
  • Microsoft Office applications
  • Unified Communication applications - Skype for business, Lync, etc.

understanding deeper - some data

respected Citrix experts Magnar Johnsen and Thomas Poppelgaard, recently announced the results of tests on a range of browsers such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox, the GPU a on a system concludes adding a hosting server based VDA can save a lot of CPU cycles on the host and to improve usability.

This is a relatively inexpensive way to ensure the scalability of the server and at the same time also a great experience. It is an interesting read, as Magnar explains how:

    develop
  • browser at different speeds to take advantage of GPUs
  • As various specific user workflows such as scrolling to browsers and other applications be optimized

, it is only common sense.

You do not have to delve into the test data, although it can be seen all makes sense. Regular desktop users are simply always graphical user in recent years in the mainstream agencies:

  • 20 years ago, to learn something you would have to pick up a paper Training Manual; 10 years ago it was probably a Word document, HTML page or PDF file. Now if you want to know how something that you do, are likely to online training or watch a how-to guide to take on YouTube!
  • information just always more graphical and user expect this to be used to produce high quality images in movies, games and web pages - you rarely see an HTML page in these days that text-based only
  • company meetings and announcements of video or conferencing software aired regularly
  • [1945008!] Skype for business, Lync and Jabber are always standard. All that is rich audio data once a telephone network now on the LAN / WAN, along with video data, as well!

A growing trend

Recently, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of people, our XenApp GPU-sharing solutions for AMD and NVIDIA and XenDesktop NVIDIA GRID vgpu recording capabilities for their regular office workers and not only their top 10-20% of high-end designers.

Are you one of them?

by 2016. Looking ahead, it is very clear that virtualized graphics technology even become more mainstream. GPU vendors with their large existing base of 3D customers have also turned their attention to this huge market - Victoria Rege of NVIDIA GRID solutions posted about just recently. She says that when the global workforce to be mobile further the ability to graphics-rich workloads will allow to better reduce available as barriers and the benefits are realized quickly.

I'd love to hear your thoughts below Comments:

  • are the end user to affect more graphical content consuming
  • How are graphics and 3D hardware requirements
  • How will your company benefit from GPU? -enabled workloads?
