Brochure

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a single processor with a massively parallel architecture of thousands of smaller cores making them ideal for handling multiple
tasks simultaneously. GPUs are used in highly-sophisticated engineering applications. And with OpenCL (Open Computing Language) and Microsoft® DirectX 11
Compute Shader, it can be utilized in accelerating applications for general tasks that require high performance parallel computing such as transcoding and 3D
animation & video rendering.
GPU Pass-through for a multitude of applications
TVS-x82, TVS-ECx80U-SAS, and TS-ECx80U models support GPU pass-through with AMD Radeon™ R7 and R9 series GPUs. (Please check the external power supply
requirements, and physical dimensions when selecting graphics cards to be installed on the NAS.)
The use of GPU in virtualization has many challenges. There are no standardized modes of operation in virtualized platforms among GPUs. To fully leverage a
GPU's application-accelerating capabilities, the TVS-x82 uses a Pass-Through mode to dedicate one GPU to a single virtual machine and other GPUs to other virtual
machines. One virtual machine can be dedicated to exclusively run GPU computation, lifting the burden from the CPU for other jobs while signicantly improving
overall system performance.

Using video transcoding as an example, a GPU not
only reduces the number of data transfers but also
processes parallel workloads more efficiently than a
CPU.
High-performance graphics cards provide superior
graphics rendering and oating-point computation
at the cost of higher power requirements. To
accommodate these graphics cards, the TVS-882 and
TVS-1282 are equipped with 450W power supplies to
provide adequate power.
