Hardware Accelerator Works with the GPU
11
Complementary, not mutually exclusive
• Unlocks the full potential of the GPU experience
• Frees CPU resources for applications and other users
Hardware Accelerator + GPU
• Consistent user experience
• Improves consolidation ratio
Hardware Accelerator
• Better application compatibility and local user experience

Hardware Accelerator Benefits
Features Benefits
• When vCPU is overloaded and cannot deliver the best user experience
• When GPU is generating too many pixels for the soft encoder to handle
Deliver best user experience1• Important as workloads become more
unpredictable with VDI becoming mainstreamProtect and ensure a consistent user experience2
• Up to 2x with heavy graphics workloadIncrease consolidation ratio3

Benefits of GPU and Hardware Accelerator vary
> Using both vSGA GPU & Hardware Accelerator provides best performance
> GPU and Hardware Accelerator provide large benefits for 3D Workloads
> Google Earth frame rate improves ~10x with less than half the CPU
> More modest benefits for document-oriented workloads
