On Construction and Performance Evaluation of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure With GPU Accelerated

More engaging and accessible solutions that offer outstanding user experience are needed. The virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the first user access part of the cloud. Therefore, the performance of the VDI has a significant influence on the network. The graphics processing unit (GPU) can acce...
