Graphics and Virtualization

Will Wade Quadro Advanced Technologies December, 2011 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

2 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
