Objective
One of the world-leading virtualization management software vendors required a technology to accelerate 3D-applications in a remote session.
The standard scheme of the remote access.
The main challenges of the standard scheme of the remote access are:
- visualization applications running in remote sessions do not use “quick” hardware GPU, but use “slow” virtual GPU instead;
- data that go through the RDP protocol go in bitmap mode and do not get compressed.
When working with 3D visualization applications this produces the following problems:
- usage of the virtual GPU provides the significant load to the Server processor that results in poor performance;
- the virtual GPU cuts off the OpenGL functional that results in incorrect video;
- some applications determine that the hardware GPU is not in use and either automatically switch into “light mode” or do not work at all.
Approach
The technology, built by BCS-IT, allowed the client to:
- use the hardware GPU in RDP sessions by OpenGL applications;
- compress server-client video traffic.
The brief scheme of the solution:
The brief scheme of the technology accelerating 3D-applications in remote sessions developed by the BCS-IT R&D team.
This acceleration technology improves dramatically the performance of 3D visualization OpenGL applications running in a remote session. For maximum performance, this technology can be adjusted to specific 3D applications.
Results Client Received
- This unique technology allowed the client to include new powerful features to his virtualization management software. This made his pioneer products more competitive on the market.
- By working with BCS-IT, the client has decreased the time-to-market of his products and reduced expenses on technology development.
