As I promised in my blog post about SmartRendering (a key aspect of HDX Adaptive Orchestration), here's a video that demonstrates a new Citrix technology for leveraging the graphics processor on the user's PC or deskop appliance to locally render DirectX graphics. HDX Adaptive Orchestration queries the graphics capabilities of the endpoint device and intelligently determines how to combine client-side and server-side rendering. Furthermore, rendering decisions can be made based on available network bandwidth or application characteristics. The result is a high definition user experience, increased server scalability and optimal use of network bandwidth. This video shows how the Windows Aero desktop and WPF-based data visualization applications can be delivered using DirectX command remoting while an OpenGL-based GIS application is delivered using accelerated bitmap remoting.

    Hello Derek,

    can you tell me, if this technology is already available for testing and for customers, i saw this video also on german press website, there was an information, that this technology is available by the end of september 2009.
    I can´t find anything on this constellation, how is it shown in your video!

    Please reply.

    Thank you

    Regards

      Hi Dominik,

      There are several different but related technologies being demonstrated in this video.

      The technology that we released at the end of September is HDX 3D for Professional Graphics, which uses server-side GPU acceleration to deliver high-end 3D graphics applications over LAN and WAN connections to design engineers, architects and other graphics professionals. We've received fantastic comments back from the field on this technology and I'll be blogging more about it shortly.

      Aero remoting over ICA has not yet been released. Our goal is to offer Aero remoting for Windows 7 in two ways: (1) server-side rendering, using procesing power in the data center, and (2) client-side rendering, leveraging a DirectX-capable GPU or IGP on the user device. Ultimately, the SmartRendering feature of HDX Adapative Orchestration will choose between these alternatives (or simply revert to non-Aero mode) based on various factors such as client capabilities, network characteristics, and administrator-defined policies. I'll blog more on HDX 3D for Windows 7 in the coming months.
