    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided related to a scheduler to receive a job request from a virtual function associated with a tenant for execution by at least one processing unit. The scheduler validates the job request in accordance with one or more defined restrictions associated with the tenant and, responsive to successful validation, provides the job request for execution by the processing unit via one or more physical functions associated with the processing unit. In certain embodiments, multi-level enforcement of the defined restrictions are provided via user-mode and kernel-mode drivers associated with the virtual function that are also enabled to validate job requests based on the defined restrictions.

    Abstract: A processing system identifies a subset of pages of memory allocated to a source guest virtual machine (VM) running at a first graphics processing unit (GPU) that were modified by the source guest VM and transferring only the subset to a destination guest VM running at a second GPU when performing a live migration from the source guest VM to the destination guest VM. The first GPU maintains a page table of system memory addresses or frame buffer addresses allocated to and accessed by the source guest VM during a session, including an indication of whether the data was modified. Based on the page table information, the processing system identifies and transfers only the modified pages from the source guest VM to the destination guest VM, thereby reducing the time and bandwidth used for migration.

    Abstract: A technique for varying firmware for different virtual functions in a virtualized device is provided. The virtualized device includes a hardware accelerator and a microcontroller that executes firmware. The virtualized device is virtualized in that the virtualized device performs work for different virtual functions (with different virtual functions associated with different virtual machines), each function getting a “time-slice” during which work is performed for that function. To vary the firmware, each time the virtualized device switches from performing work for a current virtual function to work for a subsequent virtual function, one or more microcontrollers of the virtualized device examines memory storing addresses for firmware for the subsequent virtual function and begins executing the firmware for that subsequent virtual function. The addresses for the firmware are provided by a corresponding virtual machine at configuration time.

    Abstract: In a hardware-based virtualization system, a hypervisor switches out of a first function into a second function. The first function is one of a physical function and a virtual function and the second function is one of a physical function and a virtual function. During the switching a malfunction of the first function is detected. The first function is reset without resetting the second function. The switching, detecting, and resetting operations are performed by a hypervisor of the hardware-based virtualization system. Embodiments further include a communication mechanism for the hypervisor to notify a driver of the function that was reset to enable the driver to restore the function without delay.
