  • Techniques for load balancing GPU enabled virtual machines
    Patent number: 9069622
    Abstract: Exemplary techniques for balancing 3D graphical processor unit use among virtual machines are herein disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a virtualization platform can load an instance of a graphics rendering module for a virtual machine; select a GPU for the graphics rendering module to run on; and configure the virtual machine to render to the selected GPU. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the detailed description, claims, and figures.

  • Techniques for enabling remote management of servers configured with graphics processors
    Patent number: 8830228
    Abstract: A technique for enabling the use of a baseboard management controller in a computer system configured to stream 3D graphical user interfaces to remote clients is described. In an exemplary configuration, a cap driver that is written to conform to a driver model that can interface with a 3D graphics application program interface can be loaded for use with the baseboard management controller instead of a legacy driver that was written to conform to a legacy driver model. This allows a control program to load a graphics driver that can interoperate with the 3D graphics application program interface. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the text of the summary and detailed description, the claims, and drawings.
