APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SOFTWARE-AGNOSTIC MULTI-GPU PROCESSING

摘要

An apparatus and method are described for a software agnostic multi-GPU implementation. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a plurality of physical graphics processor units (pGPUs) to execute graphics commands; a graphics driver to receive graphics commands generated from applications via a graphics application programming interface (API); a mediator to receivecommands directed to pGPU resources from the graphics driver, the mediator to map the plurality of pGPUs into a virtual graphics processor unit (vGPU) visible to the graphics driver, the mediator further including a load balancer to distribute commands received by the vGPU to each of the plurality of pGPUs in accordance with a load balancing policy.
