Performance OptimizationsDynamic MemoryDynamic Memory enables more efficiently utilization of the memory resources of the server running Hyper-V by balancing how memory is distributed between running virtual machines. Memory can be dynamically reallocated between virtual machines in response to their changing workloads. Dynamic Memory enables you to increase virtual machine density with the resources you already have without sacrificing performance or scalability. The result is more efficient use of expensive server hardware resources, which can translate into easier management and lower costs. On guest operating systems running Windows 8 with virtual processors that span multiple logical processors, consider the tradeoff between running with Dynamic Memory to help minimize memory usage and disabling Dynamic Memory to improve the performance of an application that is computer-topology aware. Such an application can leverage the topology information to make scheduling and memory allocation decisions.
The physical computer should be placed on a SSD is because most of the read-I/Os from pooled virtual desktops go to the management operating system. Therefore, the storage that is used by the physical computer must sustain much higher read I/Os per second. This deployment configuration assures cost effective performance where performance is needed. The SSD provides higher performance on a smaller size disk (~20 GB per collection, depending on the configuration). Traditional storage for pooled virtual desktops (RAID 1+0) uses about 3 GB per virtual machine.
For more information, see How to Enable CSV Cache. Pooled Virtual DesktopsBy default, pooled virtual desktops are rolled back to the pristine state after a user signs out, so any changes made to the Windows operating system since the last user sign-in are abandoned. Although it’s possible to disable the rollback, it is still a temporary condition because typically a pooled virtual desktop collection is re-created due to various updates to the virtual desktop template. Hence, it makes sense to turn off Windows features and services that depend on persistent state. Additionally, it makes sense to turn off services that are primarily for non-enterprise scenarios. Each specific service should be evaluated appropriately prior to any broad deployment. The following is a “starting list” to consider.
This list is not meant to be a complete list, because any changes will affect the intended goals and scenarios. Note SuperFetch in Windows 8 is enabled by default. It is VDI aware, and it should not be disabled. SuperFetch can further reduce memory consumption through memory page sharing, which is beneficial for VDI. Performance Tuning for Remote Desktop GatewayNote In Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, RDGW supports TCP, UDP, and the legacy RPC transports. Most of the following data is regarding the legacy RPC transport. If the legacy RPC transport is not being used, this section is not applicable. This section describes the performance-related parameters that help improve the performance of a customer deployment and the tunings that rely on the customer’s network usage patterns. At its core, the Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) performs many packet forwarding operations between Remote Desktop Connection instances and the RD Session Host server instances within the customer’s network. Internet Information Services (IIS) and RD Gateway export the following registry parameters to help improve system performance in the RD Gateway role service. Note The following parameters apply to RPC transport only. Thread tunings MaxIoThreads HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Gateway\ (REG_DWORD) This application-specific thread pool specifies the number of threads that RD Gateway creates to handle incoming requests. If the registry is present, it takes effect. The number of threads equals the number of logical processes. If the number of logical processors is less then 5, the default is 5 threads. MaxPoolThreads HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\InetInfo\Parameters \(REG_DWORD) This parameter specifies the number of IIS pool threads to create per logical processor. The IIS pool threads watch the network for requests and process all incoming requests. The MaxPoolThreads count does not include threads that RD Gateway consumes. The default value is 4. Remote procedure call tunings for RD Gateway The following parameters can help tune the remote procedure calls (RPC) that are received by RDC client and RD Gateway computers. Changing the windows helps throttle how much data is flowing through each connection and can improve performance for RPC over HTTP v2 scenarios. ServerReceiveWindow HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\ (REG_DWORD) The default value is 64 KB. This value specifies the window that the server uses for data that is received from the RPC proxy. The minimum value is set to 8 KB, and the maximum value is set at 1 GB. If a value is not present, the default value is used. When changes are made to this value, IIS must be restarted for the change to take effect. ClientReceiveWindow HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\ (REG_DWORD) The default value is 64 KB. This value specifies the window that the client uses for data that is received from the RPC proxy. The minimum value is 8 KB, and the maximum value is 1 GB. If a value is not present, the default value is used.
