VDI that makes comfortable telework possible?――The introduction of VGPU introductions that NVIDIA enhance the graphics performance of VDI

Normal graphics processing is heavy for software processing, VGPU solves it

　Yuichiro Goto, the Nbidia joint company Enterprise Business Division VGPU Business Development Manager, introduced the mechanism and benefits of the VGPU (GPU virtualization) provided by NVIDIA.

　Mr. Goto says, "NVIDIA provides software called NVIDIA VGPU Manager, and by introducing it into a hyper visor, physical GPUs can be used from virtual machines," said Hypervisor's virtual GPU.He explained that the introduction of the extensions to be converted will allow virtual machines to use physical GPUs.

　According to Goto, the "NVIDIA VGPU Manager" in the hypervisor will split the GPU and video memory and provide it as a VGPU to the virtual machine.If there is no VGPU, VDI emulates the GPU function, so if graphics processing is performed, the load on the CPU will increase extremely and the performance will be extremely reduced, but if VGPU is available, VDI OS is physics.Graphics processing can be performed using a typical GPU, which greatly improves performance.

　Eventually, it depends on what kind of GPU will be installed on a physical server, but it will be possible to reproduce a workstation that currently operates 3D CAD and CAE on the GPU with VDI compatible with VGPU.

　In that case, the user will be able to access from a tablet or laptop that does not have a powerful GPU, so even if you are working in telework from a home without a GPU -mounted workstation, VGPU and VDI are powerful.Using the calculation function and graphics function, you can use CAE applications comfortably and have less security aspects such as information leakage.

　Mr. Goto introduced NVIDIA A100, NVIDIA V100/V100S, NVIDIA A40, NVIDIA RTX 8000/6000, NVIDIA T4, etc. as a GPU available for such VGPUs, and explained that it can be selected according to the application and load.
