Release 24.03 of the Graphics Agent for Linux includes:
Improved Network Efficiency for Graphics-Intensive Deployments¶
PCoIP Ultra now defaults to Auto Offload in deployments where client machines that support H.264 Hardware Decoding connect to Anyware agents. Additionally, YUV Chroma subsampling defaults to 4:2:0. This ensures higher framerates of high-resolution content, along with optimized bandwidth utilization, especially in remote locations that have bandwidth constraints.
When set to Auto Offload, PCoIP Ultra automatically switches between CPU and GPU Offload modes; thereby leveraging the capability of CPU Offload to provide the best image fidelity, while relying on GPU Offload during periods of high display activity. This results in efficient utilization of network bandwidth, and at the same time, ensures that users see both video and still image content in the most optimized way.
Note: Preconditions for the Default Value
PCoIP Ultra defaults to Auto Offload provided that it is not already configured for PCoIP Ultra, and both the remote host and client endpoints are capable of both CPU and GPU Offload.
The Auto Offload mode is described in detail in the topics PCoIP Ultra and Configuring PCoIP Ultra.
RHEL/CentOS 7 is no longer supported
CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 will reach end of life in June 2024. Support for these operating systems has been removed in HP Anyware 24.03.
