Abstract:
An apparatus may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a hypervisor. The hypervisor may include a command parser to parse graphics memory addresses associated with a workload of a virtual machine of the apparatus, and generate a first shadow global graphics translation table (SGGT) for translating the graphics memory addresses. The hypervisor may further include a GPU scheduler to check conflict between the first SGGTT and a second SGGTT containing graphics memory addresses used by working sets being-executed or to-be-executed by the render engines of the GPU, and schedule the workload of the virtual machine to a render engine when there is no conflict between the first SGGTT and the second SGGTT. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
