Nvidia Enables up to Eight Remote Users Per GRID GPU, Full Virtualization For Graphics



You almost certainly won't have seen the following issue, unless you are actually the IT manager within an architecture firm or other specialist environment as such, but this has been a concern nevertheless. 

For many our power to virtualize compute and graphical workloads, it has not up to now been possible to share an individual GPU core across many users. For instance, if you wished that 20 people on virtual machines to gain access to 3D electrical and plumbing drawings via AutoCAD, you would need a dedicate eight expensive quad-core K1 graphics cards tucked away in your GRID server stack. 
From this moment on, NVIDIA was capable to make virtualization work the right the way in which right through to each GPU core for users of Citrix XenDesktop 7, in a way that you would only require one K1 to serve that team, of course, their tasks could not be heavy stuff. 

Does this signify that NVIDIA's K1 sales will quickly drop by seven eighths? We doubt it but everything is possible.
