Actually took this to the extreme and ripped apart my gaming PC, put together a rack mount server and setup a gaming vm with GPU passthrough because of these videos.

The idea of using a single server for multiple users excites me. I have a large family, and each kid needs a terminal for homework, etc., and sometimes will benefit from a GPU or other resources. I doubt all of them will ever all need a full computer (with licenses, etc.) at the same time.

With the evolution of cloud platforms (Autodesk Collab for example) we're considering to switching back to (mobile) phat clients.

I’m doing the same but not as well thought out so far. My sever is in my Caselabs M8 that I have been building out for over 10 years. This was originally bought as a watercooling beast but as time has gone on my needs have changed and as I downscaled on size of my house and as a free a family I decided to start using it as a watercooled server. Watercooling mainly as an additional challenge and because it’s fun. But seeing as how it’s also located in a living space I also enjoy how quiet it is. It has 22 2.5” hotswap SSDs and 8 HDDs. That Many SSDs for VMs, Plex/jellyfin metadata, and ISCSI drives for other computers in the house. I’ll add a disk shelf if I ever need more. Mine is running on UnRaid and I have a Gaming Windows 10VM. Then I also run dockers for Plex, Jellyfin, Pi-Hole, Wireguard, and more. It’s amazing how many uses you can find for a server. I would love to see SR-IOV on some consumer cards even in limited capacity. Especially because the new crop of ATX boards seem to have 1x PCIe 5.0 slot x16, 1x PCIe 4.0 x 16, and if you are lucky maybe one more x16 size but with very limited bandwidth. If you want to do an internal HBA, external HBA(for disk shelf), then 1-2 more GPUs then you have to look at Threadripper 3000 or older or worse X299 at this point. At least PCIe 3.0 doesn’t really have much an issue with gaming performance but with direct play coming down the pipes and the need for faster speeds for storage might be needed

The consumer market for intel/amd/nvidia is very small compared to the hyperscaler market, for which the large players are amazon, ms, google, ibm etc. These large players are buying billions of dollars worth of hardware from these guys. The only reason we dont have sr-iov on consumer cards (IMO) is because the hyperscalers wont allow it. They want you to 'rent' cloud resources, not create your own private cloud.

[@DanielMReck]

As always I really appreciate your insights, Jeff. Will you please discuss network latency and input lag, particularly as it affects users connecting from afar and not the local network? I have run into problems with Maya and Mudbox being unusable in a virtualized environment due to input lag. Certain actions are highly sensitive to latency more than a few milliseconds. (Pass through of Wacom input has also been a problem -- but that is a separate issue.)

What a timely video. I have a dream: A hardware puck with triple monitor outputs and a few usb ports. Something like a steamlink puck but more ports. Then you just log in with your username and use it as a terminal that remotes into the central computer. It's as fast or slow as the amount of concurrent users and their tasks. I feel like we are very close to getting this to work with a "retired parents" level of usability and ease.

The Achilles heel of VDI, still locked up tighter than the Caramilk secret after so long. AMD's MXGPU had my hopes up a few years ago, but their choice of keeping it exclusive to the big guys is just as dirty as NVIDIA's licensing model. Multi-GPU adapters in passthrough still seems to be the best option for the Xen crowd (that don't want to get in bed with Citrix again, we just got over that rash).

I am sorry because not everyone who was writing those apps had any skill for it. It was a different time, people of no skill or training somehow would get sat in front of a computer and told "Make this mission critical app". Powerful software development systems like Java were given to people who had absolutely no experience with anything like it and expected to do amazing things. We had a term for this back in the day, "cluster truck". Actually, it wasn't a cluster truck but something else that sounds very similar. So yeah, lots of us did our best but It was just too ahead of its time and missed its mark.

[@breadworkshop]

Funny, I actually just set up a similar thing for the same kind of video editing workload for my partner a couple weeks ago. We use Sunshine with Moonlight on their little anemic laptop, giving access to my rack mount VM host with a 3090 in it. It’s been working well! Though I’m doing a vanilla pass through with VFIO so it’s just one user per card, so I can’t do any remote gaming if they happen to be editing. Thinking about looking into vgpu unlock for that, although those kinds of third party hacks make me nervous, I really wish nvidia supported sr-iov on their consumer cards! I’ve been considering a low end Arc card for av1 transcoding once our client devices can support that format (our vm host doubles as a media server, naturally), but if Intel came out and supported this kind of thing on their higher-end non-enterprise cards, man… I’d never buy from any other manufacturers. I agree that VDI will only get bigger and we’re likely to see more regular people using VDI solutions, especially at work, but I’m not convinced it will make things much easier for self-hosting enthusiasts, particularly people like me who don’t want Windows as their hypervisor, either for principled or practical reasons. But hey, the self-hosting community’s ingenuity has surprised me before.

[@zack4485]

I use multiple vGPU-enabled VMs on a Tesla T4 as my daily driver all running on my home lab. I agree this technology shouldn’t be enterprise only. I used non-hardware accelerated VMs for a year and it was intolerable at 4k resolution. I have no desire to ever go back to that, nor do I desire to have a fistful of idle desktops with stranded resources sitting around sucking up power. I don’t agree that this setup is super expensive-this can be done with a Ryzen CPU and a Tesla P4 and vGPU unlock script and be very accessible in terms of dollars. But it’s definitely not a setup for the faint of heart; it breaks more often than most people would tolerate and when it’s your daily driver that’s a big deal.

It would be also easier to have an VM for them.

I guess you are saying java applets or specific java applets had issues, for me, Java on the server side has always been the most and most stable option, and java is backwards compatible, so the latest version will work on jar files made with previous versions of the jdk.

I wouldn't say an overpowered home server is cost-effective, it is many times more expensive (hardware and electricity bill) than regular gaming PC capable to run at least most of the games in the world. That solution's cost would be reasonable in multi-user scenario, and not even family would be enough - a school class at least. Old PCs are underestimated, it is more cost-effective to plan your work, doing mundane tasks on the weaker hardware on-the-go, then leave out rendering tasks for when you're back home with powerful PC. Though planning costs time, and one may have less of it than money, so having a rack for remote PC might save that time you'd spend on syncing individual computers.

It's called Final Frontier. My logo uses Neuropolitical, which is based on the DS9 font :-)

@@CraftComputing where can I get these fonts from all things Trek?

“It’s always DNS, it’s always DNS, oh wait this time it’s cause the software wants java. Oh wait which java do I need? Oracle? Open idk? Who the heck knows this time! Time to check the docs for the software.” A real conversation with my old Help desk Manager…

I was a Citrix installer back in the day...

I've been doing something like this for ripping movies and music. My laptop doesn't have a disc drive but my server does so I X forward MakeMKV and Asunder to my laptop.

Speaking of cloud gaming, have you posted any content regarding the death of Stadia?

[@movax20h]

I really hope Intel consumer Arc hardware will properly support this. SR-IOV is so needed for years, and I am so pissed at Nvidia for gating their features behind expensive products.

Citrix Engineer here, $6000 to virtualize one GPU seems excessive. I have a 100 Concurrent user license for about $5,500. The one cluster has 4x nVidia M10 (32GB) cards in it, so it can support 96 1GB vgpu sessions. Technically we can run 128 sessions, but we have to account for one node to be in maintenance mode during upgrades. PS The nVidia license server is a PAIN IN THE A..... They recently switched to a virtual appliance after the log4j issues. I wish i could just use the unlock scripts.

nVidia license server.... Speaking of JAVA disasters 🤣😂😭

[@JohnWeland]

Jeff you need to try Wiehenstephanen, their korbinian, or Heffen Wiesen, or Heffen Dunkle. All are awesome.

[@CraftComputing]

You had me at Korbinian. Then again at Heffe and Dunkle. I'll keep an eye out for it 🙂

That $17 bottle of beer is an entire balanced meal.

[@CraftComputing]

Part of a balanced breakfast!

[@KilerChese]

Can you run a headless Tesla as your main GPU without virtualization? Like run it through an iGPU like they did with Nvidia Optimus on laptops?

[@CraftComputing]

Yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGaspJlsds6lpZI

Must be super handy if you’re doing any pen testing type of work
