gVirtuS

A GPGPU transparent virtualization component

gVirtuS tries to fill the gap between in-house hosted computing clusters, equipped with GPGPUs devices, and pay-for-use high performance virtual clusters deployed  via public or private computing clouds. gVirtuS allows an instanced virtual machine to access GPGPUs in a transparent way, with an overhead  slightly greater than a real machine/GPGPU setup. gVirtuS is hypervisor independent, and, even though it currently virtualizes nVIDIA CUDA based GPUs, it is not limited to a specific brand technology. The performance of the components of gVirtuS is assessed through a suite of tests in different deployment scenarios, such as providing GPGPU power to cloud computing based HPC clusters and sharing remotely hosted GPGPUs among HPC nodes.
