    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for providing a virtual graphics processing unit driver by receiving, in a user mode of a guest process executed by a computing system, one or more graphics commands from an application of the guest process; triggering, in the user mode of the guest process, an operating system call in response to the one or more graphics commands; translating, in a kernel mode of the guest process, the operating system call into a first virtual buffer; translating, in the user mode of a host process executed by the computing system, the first virtual buffer into the operating system call; and sending, in the user mode of the host process, the operating system call to a graphics processing unit driver in a kernel mode of the host process.
