DETERMINING THE GRAPHIC LOAD OF A VIRTUAL DESKTOP

摘要

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.

1. A method comprising:
measuring a graphics load associated with graphics operations of a computing device; estimating a capacity of a virtual desktop system in view of the measured graphics load associated with the graphics operations of the computing device; and determining, by a processing device, a capacity of a host system to provide graphics operations in view of the estimated capacity of the virtual desktop system, wherein the host system is associated with one or more virtual machines providing one or more virtual desktop systems.
