In an NVIDIA vGPU-powered virtualized environment, the vGPU software is installed at the virtualization layer with the hypervisor. The software creates virtual GPUs that enable a single physical GPU to be shared among multiple VMs or a single VM to harness the power of multiple physical GPUs.
vGPU software includes a graphics or enterprise driver for every VM. Since work that was typically done by the CPU is offloaded to the GPU, the user has a much better experience. This enables support for demanding engineering and creative applications, as well as compute-intensive workloads like AI and data science, in a virtualized and cloud environment.
