Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 98

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a marketing company. Several departments within the company utilize 3D applications based on OpenGL and Direct X. These applications run as hosted applications within 5 different virtual machines running on a single Citrix
Hypervisor host. The host is configured with 1 single physical GPU running Intel Iris Pro technology.
Which HDX 3D Pro method should the architect utilize for these 3D applications?

Answer options

• A. Software-virtualized GPU
• B. Pass-through GPU
• C. Hardware-virtualized GPU
• D. CUDA-virtualized GPU

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Hardware-virtualized GPU, because it allows the virtual machines to efficiently share the physical GPU resources while providing hardware acceleration for 3D applications. The other options, like Software-virtualized GPU, do not provide the same level of performance and hardware acceleration that is required for running intensive 3D applications.
