Patent attributes
The present disclosure is directed to a processing system with a virtualized graphics processor for highly parallel processing of graphics tasks as well as other computing tasks. The processing system includes a central processing unit (CPU) configured with a virtualization stack which includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) having hundreds to thousands of GPU cores virtualized into virtual machines (VMs). The GPU cores are loaded with low-level programming routines for graphics tasks. Different GPUs are loaded with different types of programming routines based on their respective dedicated graphics tasks. The cores are segmented into VMs based on the graphics task. By utilizing virtualized GPUs, highly parallel processing of graphics tasks can be achieved.
