Why Virtualize with graphics?

Move desktop systems to the “cloud” to:

Improve Security – data and capital stay in the data center

Better manageability – resources stay under IT control

Increase Flexibility – work from anywhere, anytime, on any

device

Make better use of computing resources

Move desktop systems to the “cloud” with graphics acceleration:

Best user experience

Enhanced productivity

Project “Monterey”

Graphics in the cloud toolset

Software - SDK for virtualization, remoting, and data center management

Hardware - GPUs for data-center deployment

Clients - Tegra devices for client side optimization

Target Use Cases

Remote Workstation

Graphics Accelerated VDI

Desktop Virtualization

Multiple VM/OS per GPU – scales up

Highly portable – no IHV drivers in the VM

Limited API support – DX9 only, limited OGL

Moderate performance hit

Problem Definition

IT organizations are quickly moving to a VDI infrastructure for PC

users, but can‟t for workstation users due to the inability to get

“just like local” responsiveness for WS applications.
