Setting the Configuration Property
To congure the cache size, you can set the pcoip.image_cache_size_mb property. For example, the
following seing congures the cache size to be 50MB:
pcoip.image_cache_size_mb = 50
Use a space before and after the equals (=) sign.
If you specify a value that is less than the amount of available memory divided by 2, the value is rounded to
the nearest multiple of 10. The minimum value is 50. Any value that is less than 50 is ignored.
If you specify a value that is larger than the available memory divided by 2, the value is set to the amount of
available memory divided by 2 and rounded to the nearest multiple of 10.
You can set this property in any of several les. When Horizon Client starts up, the seing is processed from
various locations in the following order:
1 /etc/teradici/pcoip_admin_defaults.conf
2 ~/.pcoip.rc
3 /etc/teradici/pcoip_admin.conf
If a seing is dened in multiple locations, the value that is used is the value from the last le read.
N You can set the following property to display a visual indication that the image cache is working:
pcoip.show_image_cache_hits = 1
With this conguration, for every tile (32 x 32 pixels) in an image that comes from the image cache, you can
see a rectangle around the tile.
