This post is about GTC Session S7349, “Getting Started with GPUs for Linux Virtual Desktops on VMware Horizon.” Attached to the post is the slide deck presented in the session and below a list of links referenced in the session.
Trey and I appreciate the attendance and hope the information was helpful in getting you on your way with deploying Linux Desktops with GPUs. We also hope these slides help those who weren’t able to attend the session as well.
Please be sure to post in the comments if you have questions about getting your Linux VDI environment working. Building the lab environment that this session is based on took me 8 – twelve hour days to configure and trouble shoot. Once I knew where the problems were I was able to repeat the process quicker each time I did it.
