    Abstract: An apparatus and method performing debug and rollback operations using snapshots. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform graphics processing operations by executing graphics commands; a command parser to parse graphics commands submitted to the GPU and generate a list of graphics memory pages which will be affected by the graphics commands; an I/O state tracker to track I/O accesses from a graphics driver to determine a list of registers affected by the I/O accesses; shapshot circuitry and/or logic to perform a memory snapshot and I/O snapshot based on the list of graphics memory pages and the list of registers, respectively; and rollback circuitry and/or logic to perform a rollback operation using the memory snapshot and I/O snapshot in response to detecting a GPU error condition.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for best effort quality of service scheduling in a graphics processing architecture. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform graphics processing operations for a plurality of guests; a plurality of buffers to store one or more graphics commands associated with each guest to be executed by the GPU; and a scheduler to evaluate commands in the buffers of a first guest to estimate a cost of executing the commands, the scheduler to select all or a subset of the buffers of the first guest for execution on the GPU based on a determination that the selected buffers can be executed by the GPU within a remaining time slice allocated to the first guest.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for managing a virtual graphics processor unit (GPU). For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a dynamic addressing module to map portions of an address space required by the virtual machine to matching free address spaces of a host if such matching free address spaces are available, and to select non-matching address spaces for those portions of the address space required by the virtual machine which cannot be matched with free address spaces of the host; and a balloon module to perform address space ballooning (ASB) techniques for those portions of the address space required by the virtual machine which have been mapped to matching address spaces of the host; and address remapping logic to perform address remapping techniques for those portions of the address space required by the virtual machine which have not been mapped to matching address spaces of the host.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with computing that include usage and backup of persistent memory are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for computing may comprise one or more processors and persistent memory to host operation of one or more virtual machines; and one or more page tables to store a plurality of mappings to map a plurality of virtual memory pages of a virtualization of the persistent memory of the one or more virtual machines to a plurality of physical memory pages of the persistent memory allocated to the one or more virtual machines. The apparatus may further include a memory manager to manage accesses of the persistent memory that includes a copy-on-write mechanism to service write instructions that address virtual memory pages mapped to physical memory pages that are marked as read-only. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques for memory and resource management in a virtual computing environment are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, an apparatus for memory management in a virtual computing environment may include: a storage device; memory page comparison logic, coupled to the storage device, to determine that a first memory page of instructions, stored in the storage device, for a guest machine in the virtual computing environment is identical to a second memory page of instructions, stored in the storage device, for a host machine in the virtual computing environment, wherein the guest machine is hosted by the host machine; and merge logic, coupled to the memory page comparison logic, to, in response to a determination that the first memory page is identical to the second memory page, map the first memory page to the second memory page. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
