I’ve run some benchmarks on my RTX Server (Intel Xeon 6248 24-core CPU, configured with eight vCPUs, paired up with an NVIDIA RTX6000 GPU) and I have to say, the efficiency benefits are pretty awesome!įor a Big Buck Bunny video playback benchmark ( Looping intro scene, 1080p, 24 fps, default image quality ), we observe Auto-Offload using ~ 5 Mbps, compared to CPU - Offload using ~ 30 Mbps, which amounts to about 80% less network bandwidth compared to CPU - Offload mode alone. The result is that tasks like reading text, using a Wacom device, making color decisions or doing delicate CAD work are executed on accurate display representations, eliminating user frustration, guesswork and eye fatigue related to blurry text, while tasks such as video editorial work and manipulation of CAD structures remain highly responsive even over home network connections. Auto-Offload optimizes performance by switching between the highest quality mode needed for content accuracy and the system efficient H.264 mode supported by NVENC. With the new Auto-Offload mode, PCoIP Ultra uses CPU-Offload by default but dynamically switches to GPU-Offload in-session during periods of high display activity. The challenge many of our high performance customers faced in the past has been the static nature of these two modes, requiring IT admins to pre-configure user sessions on a case-by-case basis dependent on factors such as workload, infrastructure specs and, since the onset of the pandemic, individual home network capabilities too.Īuto-Offload makes that extra configuration work unnecessary. GPU-Offload leverages NVIDIA NVENC technology as a system efficient mode optimized around network bandwidth and CPU savings, especially for high frame rate content.CPU-Offload relies on the Intel AVX2 instructions to accelerate display pixel compression across multi-core CPU architectures while preserving the kingpin Teradici technology benefits – namely build-to-lossless color accuracy and unrivalled image fidelity, even at 4K/UHD display resolutions and high frame rates.
PCoIP Ultra previously offered two codec offload modes, as described in the first posting of my PCoIP Ultra Technical series: I’m extremely excited at this latest update to Teradici Cloud Access Software – as of release 2020.10 (October 2020), PCoIP Ultra protocol enhancements introduces “Auto-Offload,” a powerful new feature for many enterprises, with particular relevance to media and entertainment studios grappling with work-from-home configuration challenges. Additional bandwidth saving is accomplished by setting a lower image quality if needed. CAS 2021.07 offers Auto-Offload at increased image quality for video workloads and typically 50% bandwidth saving.
Updated August 6, 2021: Auto-Offload offers up to 80% bandwidth saving over CPU Offload for CAS 2020.10, 2021.03.
