What are the three dominant virtual workstation models?

Question

Options

• AHPC cluster dedicated supercomputer. HPC cloud andworkstation based
• BOS specific. OS agnostic, and OS dependent
• CRemote, pass through GPU, and Virtualized GPU
• DAll-in-one, small form factor, large form factor

• A
  8% (2)
• C
  88% (21)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because the three dominant models for delivering virtual workstation functionality are Remote (thin-client access to a centralized workstation), Pass-through GPU (a physical GPU dedicated directly to a VM), and Virtualized GPU (a physical GPU shared across multiple VMs via software like NVIDIA vGPU). These represent the actual architectural approaches used in enterprise virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and workstation virtualization.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A describes HPC (High-Performance Computing) deployment models, not virtual workstation delivery models - a different domain entirely.
• B describes OS compatibility categories (specific vs. agnostic vs. dependent), which is a software classification concept, not a workstation architecture model.
• D describes physical form factors for traditional desktop hardware, not virtual workstation paradigms.

Memory tip: Think "RPV" - Remote, Pass-through, Virtualized - and associate it with how the GPU is handled: not at all (Remote), exclusively mine (Pass-through), or shared (Virtualized GPU).
