I will be attending the GPU Tech Conference (GTC) in May. This is the don’t miss GPU event of the year.
Last year was my first year attending GTC and I hope not to miss it going forward. GTC has lots of great content around VDI, Deep Learning, Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and many other areas. I enjoy being able to explore sessions outside of my primary area of interest to broaden my horizons.
If you would like to join me at GTC and still haven’t registered, there is still time. Here is my discount code for conference registration. This should help you save 20% on 2017 GTC conference registration.

If you are already registered for GTC please join me and my friend Trey for our session S7349: Getting Started with GPUs for Linux Virtual Desktops on VMware Horizon. This session is currently scheduled for Monday, May 8th, at 1:00 PM in room 231. You can find us in the session catalog here: https://gputechconf2017.smarteventscloud.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=110072
In this session we will walk through getting started with GPUs for Linux Virtual Desktops (VDI) in VMware Horizon. We want you empower you to take this information back, and begin your Linux with GPU VDI program. This is an introductory session, which means come with what ever knowledge you have and we will build on it.
The idea for our session came from some work Trey and I were doing where an organization wanted Linux based desktops with GPU capabilities. While we were architecting this noticed lots of little gotchas along the way. Enough to make it frustrating for someone with minimal exposure to the various technologies at play.
Not only will we review how to deploy virtual GPUs for Linux desktops, we’ll also talk about some testing and performance information we got from an environment we built. It’s great to talk about how to put something together but it’s even better when you can demonstrate the results.
It would be great if you would join us at GTC and even better if you would join us for our session.
We look forward to seeing you there…
