GPU Pass-throughTDS-16489U & & TVS-ECx80U SAS
5
GPU Pass-through (1/2)Support AMD Radeon R7, R9Passthrough GPU to a VM:
Benefits:• Supports DirectX and OpenGL graphic APIs
• Some utilities can be boosted up.• Increases processing power and improves display
output• Boost performance for big data analytics
• OpenCL
6
GPU Pass-through (2/2)Requirements:• Plug in a monitor to NAS Local display • A set of keyboard and mouse to control it.• UltraVNC Remote desktop
• Can be installed from the QNAP Guest Tool
7
How to setup GPU passthrough?
8
Remote Desktop - QNAP Guest tools (1/2)• Built-in to the VM Driver ISO image
9
Remote Desktop - QNAP Guest tools (2/2)
• Virtio Driver (compulsory)• Virtual Gigabit Ethernet• Virtual Disk Controller
• QNAP Guest agent• Collects VM IP address• Synchronizes the VM time
• Can correct the VM time after the VM is resumed
• UltraVNC®• When the VM uses GPU passthrough, the
VM needs an extra VNC server for accessing the console.

Networking mode
• IsolatedNot attaching any Ethernet interface to a Virtual Switch creates an isolated network.
• External-onlySpecify an Ethernet interface for a Virtual Switch to enable dedicated routing between virtual switches and external networks.
• BridgedAttaching an Ethernet interface to a Virtual Switch creates a bridged network.

NETWORK & VIRTUAL SWITCH
12
Overview• Integrates all network functions and enhances the user
experience• Network topology • Multi-selection for port-trunking• Supports Thunderbolt (thunderbolt model only)
• New feature: Virtual Switch• To build a flexible and simple network environment• Two modes supported: Private network and Switch mode
13
Network Topology• Easily check the network status and clearly see the
network topology
14
Multi-selection for port-trunking• Without the limited amounts of Ethernet connections
15
Thunderbolt• Enjoy the high-speed throughout of the Thunderbolt
interface
16
Virtual Switch: Private Network• It is easy to create a LAN environment by bridging your
devices via NAS. • DHCP Server included
17
Virtual Switch: Switch• Using uplink to connect NAS to Internet, and downlink to
connect your devices.
