2 AGENDA 1 Overview 2 Prerequisites 3 Differences between vsga and vdga 4 vsga setup and configuration 5 vsga verification and tuning

3 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!

4 Segmenting the User Population DESIGNER Tier 1 (e.g. design engineers) Top rendering performance (dedicated GPU: vdga) POWER USER KNOWLEDGE WORKER Tier 2 (viewing/editing of 3D drawings) Shared GPU: vsga, or possibly vdga Tier 3 (typical knowledge workers) Shared GPU: vsga

5 COMMERCIAL MARKETS Importance of a GPU MUST HAVE DESIGNERS 25M 3D Engineering & Design Apps PLM & Volume Design Media Rich Web MARKET SERVED TODAY NEW OPPORTUNITY POWER USERS KNOWLEDGE WORKERS TASK WORKERS 100M 200M 400M INCREASINGLY NICE TO HAVE Office Productivity Medical Records

6 DESIGNERS NVIDIA GRID K2 POWER USERS Performance NVIDIA GRID K1 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

7 Differences between vsga and vdga

8 GPU Pass-through Fundamentals! 1:1 assignment of physical GPU to a guest VM! NVIDIA driver is resident in the guest! Can co-exist alongside vsga and non GPU enabled guests GPU Pass-through VIRTUAL MACHINE VIRTUAL VIRTUAL Guest MACHINE OS Guest MACHINE OS Apps Apps Guest OS Apps Remote NVIDIA Graphics Remote Graphics NVIDIA NVIDIA Hypervisor DirectPath I/O GPU

9 VMware ESXi 5.5 and vdga Supports all versions of DirectX, OpenGL and CUDA No.vib driver is required on the ESX server host PCI Pass thru must be enabled on the ESX server NVIDIA driver must be installed on the guests

10 GPU Virtualization vdga HARDWARE VIRTUALIZATION SOFTWARE App App App VDA App Virtual vcpu Virtual GUEST OS Virtual Virtual VIRTUAL MACHINE vmemory vstorage vnetwork NVIDIA GPU ESXi Hypervisor Physical Server NVIDIA Accelerated Capture CPU Memory Storage Network GPU NVIDIA Pass-Through Client GRID K1 GRID K2 Quadro Quadro K5000

11 VMware ESXi 5.5 and vsga GPU is gets shimmed to the VMs VMware software adapter installed on guests NVIDIA GRID.vib driver installed on the ESX host API support up to DirectX 9 and OpenGL 2.1 Support for vmotion

12 GPU Virtualization - vsga Software App App App VDA App Virtual Virtual View Guest Virtual Virtual Virtual VMware Software Adapter VMware ESXi Client Virtualization VIRTUAL MACHINE vcpu vmemory vstorage vnetwork vsphere ESXi Hypervisor GPU NVIDIA VIB NVIDIA GRID software from NVIDIA GRID K1, K2 Hardware CPU Memory Storage Network Physical Server GPU

13 Key Differences vsga! Multi-users / GPU! Shimmed! DirectX 9! OpenGL 2.1 vdga! One VM / GPU! NVIDIA driver! DirectX 9, 10 and 11! OpenGL 4.3

14 Key Differences vsga! Multi-users / GPU! Shimmed! DirectX 9 vgpu (coming soon)! Multi-users / GPU! NVIDIA! DirectX 9, 10 and 11! OpenGL 4.3 vdga! One VM / GPU! NVIDIA driver! DirectX 9, 10 and 11!! OpenGL 2.1! OpenGL 4.3

15 vsga setup and configuration

16 vsga Installation -.vib! Download.vib from the NVIDIA Download page! Extract NVIDIA-Vmware-x86_64-<<version>>-bundle.zip from.zip file! 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_ oem bundle.zip Installation Result Message: Operation finished successfully. Reboot Required: false VIBs Installed: NVIDIA_bootbank_NVIDIA-VMware_ESXi_5.5_Host OEM ! Reboot the ESXi host

17 vsga Post.vib Installation! Confirm xorg is running ~ # /etc/init.d/xorg status Xorg is running! Display VMs known by the host ~ # gpuvm Xserver unix:0, PCI ID 0:8:0:0, GPU maximum memory KB GPU memory left KB. Xserver unix:1, PCI ID 0:9:0:0, GPU maximum memory KB GPU memory left KB. Xserver unix:2, PCI ID 0:134:0:0, GPU maximum memory KB GPU memory left KB. Xserver unix:3, PCI ID 0:135:0:0, GPU maximum memory KB GPU memory left KB.!

18 vsga VM Management Configuration! Enable existing VMs by modifying the video card setting in vcenter! 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

19 vsga verification

20 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: NVIDIA (3.2.0) mks I120: OpenGL Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation mks I120: OpenGL Renderer: Quadro FX GRID K2/PCIe/SSE2! If there is no OpenGL information, check for software renderer ~ # cat /vmfs/volumes/<<your volume id>>/<<vm Name>>/vmware.log grep llvmpipe mks I120: VMiopLog notice: <<VM name>> vmiop started llvmpipe!

21 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: (default is 30)! Storage and data access! Proximity to data, VLANs, IOPS! Solid State!
