Abstract: In response to a notification from one or more virtual machines, a host with access to a physical function of a virtualized display device utilizes the physical function to directly access a frame memory of the virtualized display device associated with the notifying virtual machine(s). The host generates a composited frame for display, via the virtualized display device or otherwise, by selecting rendered frames from one or more of the notifying virtual machines.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for accessing and managing memories are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes at least first and second processors and first and second memories. The first processor maintains a request log with entries identifying requests that have been made to pages stored in the second memory. The first processor generates an indication for the second processor to process the request log when the number of entries in the request log reaches a programmable threshold. The second processor dynamically adjusts the programmable threshold based on one or more first conditions. The second processor also processes the request log responsive to detecting the indication. Additionally, the second processor determines whether to migrate pages from the second memory to the first memory based on one or more second conditions.

Abstract: A request is sent from a new virtual function (VF) to a physical function for requesting the initialization of the new VF. The controlling physical function and the new VF establish a two-way communication channel that to start and end the VF's exclusive accesses to registers in a configuration space. The physical function uses a timing control to monitor that exclusive register access by the new VF is completed within a predetermined time period. The new VF is only granted a predetermined time period of exclusive access to complete its initialization process. If the exclusive access period is timed out, the controlling physical function can terminate the VF to prevent GPU stalls.

Abstract: A host processing system assigns unequal time slices at a parallel processor to virtual functions based on profiles of applications executing at the virtual functions and an available budget of the parallel processor. The host processing system calculates a world switch cycle interval and assesses an available processing budget of the parallel processor. The available budget indicates the amount of graphics processing time the parallel processor has not yet allocated to virtual functions for each world switch cycle interval.

Abstract: A remote display synchronization technique preserves the presence of a local display device for a remotely-rendered video stream. A server and a client device cooperate to dynamically determine a target frame rate for a stream of rendered frames suitable for the current capacities of the server and the client device and networking conditions. The server generates from this target frame rate a synchronization signal that serves as timing control for the rendering process. The client device may provide feedback to instigate a change in the target frame rate, and thus a corresponding change in the synchronization signal. In this approach, the rendering frame rate and the encoding frequency may be “synchronized” in a manner consistent with the capacities of the server, the network, and the client device, resulting in generation, encoding, transmission, decoding, and presentation of a stream of frames that mitigates missed encoding of frames while providing acceptable latency.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a frame buffer. The frame buffer is coupled to the GPU. Based upon initialization of a virtual function, a plurality of pages are mapped into a virtual frame buffer. The plurality of pages are mapped into the virtual frame buffer by using a graphics input/output memory management unit (GIOMMU) and an associated page table.

Abstract: A processor supports secure memory access in a virtualized computing environment by employing requestor identifiers at bus devices (such as a graphics processing unit) to identify the virtual machine associated with each memory access request. The virtualized computing environment uses the requestor identifiers to control access to different regions of system memory, ensuring that each VM accesses only those regions of memory that the VM is allowed to access. The virtualized computing environment thereby supports efficient memory access by the bus devices while ensuring that the different regions of memory are protected from unauthorized access.

Abstract: A parallel processor is configured to enforce job limits for virtual functions to facilitate an expected quality of service for each of the virtual functions assigned to a virtual machine executing at the processing unit. A scheduler schedules well-behaving virtual functions prior to badly-behaving virtual functions to prevent badly-behaving virtual functions from consuming a disproportionate share of hardware resources, thereby mitigating an impact of the badly-behaving virtual functions on the quality of service of the well-behaving virtual functions.
