S5006 YOUR HORIZON VIEW DEPLOYMENT IS GPU READY, JUST ADD NVIDIA GRID Jeremy Main Senior Solution Architect - GRID 1 Overview 2 Prerequisites AGENDA 3 Differences between vSGA and vDGA 4 vSGA setup and configuration 5 vSGA verification and tuning What is a GPU? In a virtual world the CPU has been asked to be all things from vCPU to networking to storage, and GPU! Segmenting the User Population DESIGNER Tier 1 (e.g. design engineers) Top rendering performance (dedicated GPU: vDGA) POWER USER Tier 2 (viewing/editing of 3D drawings) Shared GPU: vSGA, or possibly vDGA KNOWLEDGE WORKER Tier 3 (typical knowledge workers) Shared GPU: vSGA Importance of a GPU COMMERCIAL MARKETS MUST HAVE 3D Engineering & DESIGNERS Design Apps PLM & Volume Design Media Rich Web 25M POWER USERS 200M KNOWLEDGE WORKERS NEW OPPORTUNITY NEW OPPORTUNITY 400M INCREASINGLY NICE TO HAVE Office Productivity Medical Records TASK WORKERS 100M MARKET MARKET SERVED TODAY DESIGNERS NVIDIA GRID K2 POWER USERS NVIDIA GRID K1 Performance GPU 4 Kepler GPUs 2 High End Kepler GPUs KNOWLEDGE WORKERS CUDA Cores 768 (192/GPU) 3072 (1536/GPU) Memory Size 16GB DDR3 (4GB/GPU) 8GB GDDR5 (4GB/GPU) Max Power 130 W 225 W Number of Users Up to 32 Up to 16 1 Number of users depends on software solution, workload, and screen resolution Differences between vSGA and vDGA GPU Pass-through Fundamentals GPU Pass-through ! 1:1 assignment of physical GPU to a guest VM VIRTUAL MACHINEVIRTUAL VIRTUAL GuestMACHINE OS !

Copy NVIDIA-Vmware-x86_64-<<version>>-bundle.zip to ESXi host ! Put ESXi host in Maintenance mode ! Install .vib using “esxcli software vib install –d” with full path to bundle ~ # esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/<<your volume id>>/NVIDIA-VMware-x86_64-319.65-1OEM. 550.0.0.1331820-bundle.zip Installation Result Message: Operation finished successfully.

Select “Enable 3D Support” ! 3D Renderer option remains set to “Automatic” ! Memory size does not need to be modified ! Modify Horizon View vSGA enabled VM pool settings ! Change “Allow users to choose protocol” to “No” ! Set “3D Renderer” to “Hardware” ! Selecting “Configure”, change VRAM to 512MB ! VRAM memory is 50% GPU memory and 50% system memory, remember for sizing! ! ! Continue to apply the existing pool settings and finally “Finish” vSGA verification Verification on ESXi Host ! Parse the VM log file to confirm vSGA rendering is operational ~ # cat /vmfs/volumes/<<your volume id>>/<<VM Name>>/vmware.log | grep “OpenGL” … mks| I120: OpenGL Version: “3.2.0 NVIDIA 319.65” (3.2.0) … mks| I120: OpenGL Vendor: “NVIDIA Corporation” … mks| I120: OpenGL Renderer: “Quadro FX GRID K2/PCIe/SSE2” !

End-User Experience Tuning ! For high end graphical and 3D workloads: ! Use high-performance thin client ! Tera1 chip supports up to 30fps vs. Tera2 chip supports up to 60fps ! Or use a modern Core i3 or better Windows PC ! Networking is critical, some PCoIP use cases spike to 70Mbps ! Optimize PCoIP to allow max 120fps, 30fps is the default ! Enable “Disable Build-To-Lossless to reduce overall PCoIP traffic ! Under certain extreme cases with CAD apps, change MaxAppFrameRate to “0” ! HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware SVGA DevTap\MaxAppFrameRate ! Set to: dword:00000000 (default is 30) ! Storage and data access ! Proximity to data, VLANs, IOPS ! Solid State!
