Towards the end of last year the XenServer team announced the availability of 3D graphics package in version 6.2 SP1.
[1945003diese] supported hardware vGPUs based on NVIDIA GRID technology speeds.Combined with XenDesktop HDX 3D Pro, this allows the use of rich 3D applications by concurrent virtual machines on a server. With Citrix Cloud Platform Version 4.5, you can now use vgpu and orchestrate GPU pass-through features of XenServer graphics workloads in the cloud.
GPUs offer a Offload for graphics-intensive calculations from the CPU for such things as CAD / CAM in the manufacturing industry, animation and modeling in media and entertainment, and more. More recently, GPU-accelerated applications have also found use in general purpose computer as for scientific computations such as MATLAB or computational finance for modeling supercomputing. NVIDIA has categorized a large catalog of more than 300 applications in various industries. The company will be able to extend the benefits of desktop virtualization with the ability to provide their users rich graphics applications such as Autodesk, Adobe, Intergraph, etc .. In addition to companies VDI environments GPU computing is as a service offered by public cloud service providers like Amazon EC2 or IBM Strato. More specialized cloud providers offer HPC as a service for the life sciences, medical imaging, cloud gaming to among other areas.
Citrix Cloud Platform 4.5 allows to provide enterprises and cloud service providers workloads require GPU / vgpu skills XenServer hosts with GPU hardware in public and private clouds. Cloud Platform has the ability to detect hosts that GPU capabilities and offers flexible configuration to support different applications: GPU pass-through for designers or power users, where you assign an entire GPU into a single VM and vgpu for knowledge worker / task workers where multiple guest VMs can share a single physical GPU. Supported software components include Cloud Platform 4.5, XenServer 6.2 SP1 or later; and the necessary hardware includes NVIDIA GRID K1 and K2 cards.
The functions offered by the admin to end users by having the production and delivery of computing services, the GPU / vgpu skills. The picture shows the configuration dialog of a compute offer in the Admin GPU card can specify and the type (either pass-through or a particular model of vgpu distribution).
Cloud Platform also monitored at the host level to make them understand and plan utilization and zone-level administrators for GPU capacity in the cloud.
in combination with XenServer and XenDesktop products, Cloud Platform provides Ctirix customers a compelling stack graphics-intensive workloads on desktops to deliver in a cloud environment.
