DCV
Desktop Cloud Visualization (DCV) is a remote 3D visualization technology which enables secure and optimized remote access to Windows and Linux desktops with a specific focus on graphic intensive workloads.
How DCV works?
In a typical 3D visualization scenario, a software application uses local resources (CPU, memory, etc.) and sends a stream of graphics commands to a graphics adapter (GPU) installed on the workstation.
The GPU renders the data into pixels and outputs them to one or more local displays. With DCV, all applications run natively on remote hosts, which may also be consolidated and virtualized. The native GPU driver renders the scene geometry and graphics state on the remote physical or virtual GPU, and pixels are compressed and sent over the network to clients for local displaying.
DCV’s key features:
- Designed for technical users
- Connect to both Linux and Windows desktops remotely with a single client
- Full GPU acceleration for OpenGL and DirectX applications
- Node and GPU sharing across multiple users
- Support for virtual machines using GPU pass-through or NVIDIA vGPU
- Hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding on NVIDIA Kepler and Maxwell cards
- Support for multiple displays with resolution matching
- Dynamic image quality adjustment to maximize frame rate in motion
- Encryption using the standard HTTPS and TSL algorithm
