Laboratory experience is an essential factor for engineering and science education. Virtual laboratories are widely used by universities and research institutions in various kinds of academic sectors. However, general virtual laboratories always have some weakness for computer graphics which its experiment needs to be done in high performance computers. In the assessment of a graduate computer graphics course, the authors find out the choke point of virtual laboratories when it handles computer graphics tasks. Also, this paper proposes a novel architecture of virtual laboratories by adopting Xen VGA Passthrough and virtual OpenCL technologies in order to break the bottleneck.
