GPU-Accelerated Remoting

slide-27
SLIDE 27
  • Remoting protocol (Codec, protocol stack, streaming)
  • Application type (GDI, DirectX, OpenGL, video, …)
  • Host (server hardware & hypervisor, GPU support)
  • Guest VM (Windows version, remoting components)
  • Endpoint (client hardware & software, screen resolution)
  • Network (TCP/UDP

, bandwidth, latency, packet loss, VPN)

  • Control plane (connection broker, gateway, …)
  • In shared environments: other users (noisy neighbors)

Measuring Remote End User Experience (REX)

▪ Perceived user experience ▪ User interface response times - click to noticeable action and application start times ▪ Graphical output performance ▪ Screen refresh cycles - frame rates, flicker ▪ Supported graphics and media formats ▪ Dropouts, blurriness and artefacts - media quality Remote end user experience cannot be represented by a single score Solution: REX Analytics = screen videos + correlated telemetry data
