Patent number: 10963984Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for interaction monitoring for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. Execution of an application is initiated on a virtual compute instance that is implemented using CPU and memory resources of a server. Instruction calls are produced by the execution of the application and sent from the server to a graphics server over a network. The graphics server comprises a physical GPU, and a virtual GPU is implemented using the physical GPU and attached to the virtual compute instance. GPU output is generated at the graphics server based at least in part on execution of the instruction calls using the virtual GPU. A log of interactions between the application and the virtual GPU is stored. The interactions comprise the instruction calls sent to the graphics server and responses to the instruction calls sent to the virtual compute instance.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Featonby, Yuxuan Liu, Umesh Chandani, John Merrill Phillips, Jr., Adithya Bhat, Douglas Cotton Kurtz, Mihir Sadruddin Surani

Patent number: 10692168Abstract: A first remote virtualized graphics device is instantiated in response to a determination that processing of graphics operations is to be enabled in a first availability mode on behalf of a compute instance. A configuration operation is performed at a routing device to enable packets from the first remote virtualized graphics device to be transmitted to a graphics result destination. In response to an indication of unavailability, the routing device is configured to enable packets from a second remote virtualized graphics device to be directed to the graphics result destination.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Featonby, Yuxuan Liu, Mihir Sadruddin Surani, John Merrill Phillips, Jr., Umesh Chandani, Douglas Cotton Kurtz, Nicholas Patrick Wilt, Adithya Bhat

Patent number: 10650484Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for dynamic and application-specific virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. Execution of an application is initiated on a virtual compute instance. The virtual compute instance is implemented using a server. One or more graphics processing unit (GPU) requirements associated with the execution of the application are determined. A physical GPU resource is selected from a pool of available physical GPU resources based at least in part on the one or more GPU requirements. A virtual GPU is attached to the virtual compute instance based at least in part on initiation of the execution of the application. The virtual GPU is implemented using the physical GPU resource selected from the pool and accessible to the server over a network.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Featonby, Yuxuan Liu, Umesh Chandani, John Merrill Phillips, Jr., Nicholas Patrick Wilt, Adithya Bhat, Douglas Cotton Kurtz, Mihir Sadruddin Surani

Patent number: 10169841Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for dynamic interface synchronization for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. A GPU interface synchronization request is sent from a compute instance to a graphics processing unit (GPU) server via a network. The GPU server comprises a virtual GPU attached to the compute instance and implemented using at least one physical GPU. Based at least in part on the GPU interface synchronization request, a shared version of a GPU interface is determined for use with the compute instance and the GPU server. Program code of the shared version of the GPU interface is installed on the compute instance and on the GPU server. Using the shared version of the GPU interface, the compute instance sends instructions to the virtual GPU over the network, and the virtual GPU generates GPU output associated with the instructions.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Featonby, Douglas Cotton Kurtz, Paolo Maggi, Umesh Chandani, John Merrill Phillips, Jr., Yuxuan Liu, Adithya Bhat, Mihir Sadruddin Surani, Andrea Curtoni, Nicholas Patrick Wilt
