Memory Usage, Active Memory, and Consumed Memory are all somewhat higher in Chrome than in Edge. Memory usage comparison for 230 VM test (lower is better) The following figure shows the results when we ran the 230 VM tests. We compared average values of Consumed Memory, Active Memory, Memory Usage, and the maximum value of Memory Ballooning. CPU usage comparison for 230 VM test (lower is better) To understand how these values are calculated, go here.įollowing is the CPU usage comparison graph for 230 VM tests with Chrome and Edge. We compared the average values of CPU usage, CPU core utilization and CPU utilization. VM consolidation comparison (higher is better) Following is the VM consolidation comparison with Chrome and Edge tests. We observed a slight decrease in the VM count with the Chrome test. We followed this blog and performed experiments by changing the number of VMs on our host. We considered the below performance parameters in this experiment. We sought, as our main goal, to measure how many VMs could be consolidated on a single host and still give good performance. Testbed Setup 2-socket node configuration Processor typeĪlso, we optimized the base VM using the VMware OS optimization tool and created instant clones using VMware Horizon. To learn more about the View Planner work profiles, go to the View Planner user guide. These profiles are suitable for this comparison because they have the same application workloads except browsers.


To understand the performance of Chrome and Chromium-based Edge, we performed a few View Planner experiments and compared the following parameters: We used the VDI benchmarking tool VMware View Planner 4.5 to compare the performance and scalability limits with Chrome and Edge browsers. So we decided to experiment and compare the performance of both browsers in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Chrome is a widely used browser that runs on the open-source Chromium engine, and recently Microsoft has released its Edge Browser with this same engine.
