摘要： 介绍基于虚拟桌面和GPU透传技术实现多用户共享图形工作站的主要设计思想和实现框架,对图形工作站共享技术的应用方案和性能进行阐述。提出将虚拟桌面技术应用于图形工作站,为用户创建各自独立的虚拟桌面,分享图形工作站的CPU、内存、硬盘等物理资源。同时,借助GPU透传技术,将图形工作站的物理显卡分别透传到各个虚拟桌面,使图形工作站可供与显卡数目相同的用户共享使用。测试结果表明,通过该技术用户可以快速地连接到自己的虚拟桌面运行图形密集型应用程序,图形处理将交付给透传过来的物理显卡执行,能够确保图形设计所需要的性能。

Abstract: This paper presents the design idea and implementation framework to share graphics workstation with virtual desktop and GPU pass-through,as well summarizes the use scenario and performance analysis.The virtualization technology helps creating standalone virtual desktops for multi-users who share CPU,memory and storage resources of graphic workstation,while the pass-through technology is used to assign GPUs to different desktops,thus making it possible to share the graphic workstation with multiple graphics cards among equal number of users.Graphics designers connect to their own desktop and run graphics intensive applications from traditional PCs,thin clients or even intelligent devices.Test results show that the performance can be ensured because the graphic processing is finally done on the pass-through physical graphic card.
