Evaluating performance with ease

Driver and compiler installation are confusing? We know! We are right there with you.

Virtual Client componentizes various dependencies for a benchmark and allows authors to describe your desired workflow steps in a simple JSON document we call a 'profile'.

The profiles offered out-of-the-box are curated by experts within Microsoft with a simple goal. Make it easy to run benchmarks in a reliable manner with little or no knowledge required beforehand.
