GPU resource usage display and dynamic GPU resource allocation in a networked virtualization system

摘要

An architecture for implementing a mechanism for displaying GPU resource usage and dynamically allocating GPU resources in a networked virtualization system is provided. The mechanism compares an initial allocation of GPU resources to virtual machines supported by one or more nodes of the networked virtualization system to a current GPU resource usage by the virtual machines. Based at least in part on the comparison and workloads processed by the virtual machines, the mechanism may reallocate GPU resources to one or more of the virtual machines. A virtual machine is reassigned to a different vGPU profile if reassignment is likely to achieve a more efficient allocation of GPU resources to the virtual machine. A user interface indicating GPU resource usage relative to GPU resource allocation may also be generated and displayed.
