What is GPU Passthrough?

GPU passthrough is a virtualization technology that allows a virtual machine (VM) to directly access a physical GPU, bypassing the hypervisor. This enables high-performance computing tasks, like 3D rendering and machine learning, to be carried out in a virtualized environment with near-native performance.

Use Cases

GPU passthrough is particularly valuable in scenarios where high-performance computing and virtualization intersect:

• 3D Rendering: Studios and designers use GPU passthrough to run rendering software in virtual machines, allowing for high-quality output without compromising on performance.

• Machine Learning: Data scientists utilize GPU passthrough to train models in virtualized environments, ensuring that the computational power of physical GPUs is fully leveraged for faster training times.

• Gaming: Gamers and developers use GPU passthrough to run graphically intensive games or simulations on virtual machines, maintaining the performance required for a smooth experience.

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI): Enterprises implement GPU passthrough in VDI setups to provide employees with access to high-performance graphics processing, enabling them to run demanding applications remotely.

Benefits

GPU passthrough offers several key benefits that make it an essential tool for high-performance computing in virtualized environments:

• Near-Native Performance: By directly accessing the physical GPU, virtual machines can achieve performance levels close to that of bare-metal hardware, making it ideal for demanding applications.

• Resource Efficiency: GPU passthrough allows organizations to efficiently utilize their GPU resources by sharing them across multiple virtual machines, optimizing hardware usage.

• Flexibility: GPU passthrough enables the use of high-performance GPUs in a virtualized environment, providing the flexibility to run demanding applications without the need for dedicated physical machines.

• Cost Savings: By enabling high-performance tasks to be carried out in virtual machines, GPU passthrough reduces the need for multiple physical workstations, lowering overall hardware costs.
