VMware Test Drive
Test Engineer: Benny Tritsch
Date of test: 22 May 2022
Testable question: What is the perceived user experience over a Blast connection from the EUC Score lab in Germany to a GPU-accelerated session hosted on VMware Test Drive located in VMware's Houston datacenter?
System under test: VMware Test Drive, Windows 10, Xeon Gold 6140 4vCPUs @ 2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, VMware Virtual disk SCSI Disk Device 150GB, NVIDIA GRID V100-2Q vGPU, 2GB VRAM.
Connection: VMware Blast, 130ms round trip time.
| Simload and Link | View and Telemetry Type | Observation |
|---|---|---|
| SL1-BSPBlendingDX11 | Single View - GPU | Great application response time despite 130ms network round trip time. 3D load stays low, showing the power of the NVIDIA V100 GPU. |
| SL1-ChromeFishbowlHTML5 | Single View - GPU | Growing outgoing network bandwidth on growing number of fish objects in the bowl. |
| SL1-DominoOpenGL | Single View - GPU | VMware Horizon limits the frame rate on the session side to 60fps, keeping CPU and GPU consumption low. |
| SL1-MSEdgeVideoConf6 | Single View - GPU | Decoding of the six videos is offloaded to the GPU, keeping CPU consumption low. |
| SL1-MSEdgeWaterWebGL | Single View - GPU | Rendering of the water after user interaction at highest quality level. |
Result: The VMware Test Drive VM shows outstanding performance despite 130ms round trip time.
