Abstract
The graphics load of a virtual desktop is estimated to determine the capacity of a virtual desktop system. In one embodiment, the graphics load of a physical desktop is measured by a remoting agent installed on the physical desktop. The graphics load can be used as an estimate of the load that would be created by a deployed virtual desktop. The remoting agent on the physical desktop mimics host operations that are necessary to direct graphics data to a remote site. The remoting agent also measures the graphics load incurred by the host operations to determine a capacity of a virtual desktop system prior to deployment of the virtual desktop system.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- mimicking, at a client location, host operations that are necessary to direct graphics data to a remote site;
- and
- measuring, at the client location, a graphics load incurred by the host operations to determine a capacity of a virtual desktop system prior to deployment of the virtual desktop system.
A system comprising:
- a graphics unit in a desktop device to execute graphic operations;
- and
- a remoting agent coupled to the graphics unit, the remoting agent installed in the desktop device to mimic host operations that are necessary to direct graphics data to a remote site, the remoting agent further to measure a graphics load incurred by the host operations at the desktop device to determine a capacity of a virtual desktop system prior to deployment of the virtual desktop system.
A computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:
- mimicking, at a client location, host operations that are necessary to direct graphics data to a remote site;
- and
- measuring, at the client location, a graphics load incurred by the host operations to determine a capacity of a virtual desktop system prior to deployment of the virtual desktop system.
