Last week I blogged about what happens behind the scenes with 3D technologies alternative Citrix and VMware. All these technologies seem to solve the same problem, and indeed, may even seem similar in assessments to the untrained eye. Pins are easier and faster to execute and measure, so many people use these applications to do a spot check before switching to real production applications. It is necessary to cut through the hype, and learn different abilities and their relevance to high professional graphics range of use cases. Even for the case of less demanding use, a robust 3D rendering engine provides greater scalability and leads to happy and satisfied end users.
benchmark tests contain several telltale signs that give a pretty good indication of the capabilities, performance, and scalability expected in complex 3D applications in production. Check out these alongside videos that quickly show the strength of the Citrix + NVIDIA architecture. Pay attention to the call-outs that highlight important differences between the two interpretations. On the right side is configured with VMware View defaults vSGA and Max Video RAM (512 MB) on the NVIDIA GRID K2 card. On the left is the comparable K0 vGPU, fueling Citrix XenDesktop on exactly the same type of GRID K2. Videos are recorded when four users simultaneously share the GPU. Click here to see the video:
It quickly becomes apparent that vSGA is unable to leverage the power of NVIDIA GRID card, management of illusion to "smooth" playing at the expense of rendering spotted and image losses. HDX 3D Pro easily offer the expected performance, both in terms of detail and frame rate. In his fantastic blog about how to watch out for shadows during the testing and proof of concepts, Rachel Berry note if you are evaluating vSGA against vGPU or similar, it can be very insightful to put them in place running side coast and play spot the difference. To make an informed decision, beware of tricks these benchmarks can play.
vSGA VMware is designed for knowledge workers, and is not suitable for applications CAD, CAM, 3D modeling and video. The table below shows clearly the major graphics applications that are not appropriate for use with VMware shared 3D technology. It is in fact comes from VMware deployment guide. Furthermore, all applications work well with Citrix HDX 3D Pro using NVIDIA GRID vGPU. For flexible deployment, there are multiple profiles within vGPU and two of these profiles, GRID K100 and K0 vGPU are designed for knowledge workers, as vSGA. However, they exploit native drivers NVIDIA, like other profiles vGPU. This allows K100 and K0 to support complex use cases much better than VMware vSGA (with custom SVGA drivers). This differentiation is critical for enterprise customers looking to meet 3D design engineering requirements with virtualization
on the way Citrix Summit 2014 Orlando?
We'll talk more about planning and deployment assessments HDX 3D Pro at the session SUM224 evasion in January 13, at 14 pm at Citrix Summit, Orlando. Do not hesitate to go and say hello.
