GPU virtualization refers to technologies that allow the use of a GPU to accelerate graphics or GPGPU applications running on a virtual machine.GPU virtualization is used in various applications such as desktop virtualization, [1] cloud gaming [2] and computational science (e.g. hydrodynamics simulations).
QEMU can be used with a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) to emulate hardware at near-native speeds. Additionally, it supports user-level processes, allowing applications compiled for one processor architecture to run on another. [4] QEMU supports the emulation of x86, ARM, PowerPC, RISC-V, and other architectures.
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) includes WDDM 2.3. The following is a list of new features for Windows Display driver development in Windows 10, version 1709: [48] Shader Model 6.1, adding support view instancing and barycentric semantics. [49]
Device Dependent X (DDX), another 2D graphics device driver for X.Org Server; The DRM is kernel-specific. A VESA driver is generally available for any operating system. The VESA driver supports most graphics cards without acceleration and at display resolutions limited to a set programmed in the Video BIOS by the manufacturer. [15]
hwinfo is the hardware detection tool used in SuSE Linux and in some other Linux distributions. [10] Running hwinfo --framebuffer reports graphics information, including VESA modes on a "Mode" line. mdt is a Linux or DOS tool that uses VESA BIOS functions to read monitor data. [11]
These APIs for 3D computer graphics are particularly popular: ANGLE, web browsers graphics engine, a cross-platform translator of OpenGL ES calls to DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan API calls. Direct3D (a subset of DirectX) Glide a defunct 3D graphics API developed by 3dfx Interactive. Mantle developed by AMD. Mesa; Metal developed by Apple.
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards.DRM exposes an API that user-space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display.
Via virtualization, it is possible to run ARM-based Windows 10 (only Windows Insider builds, as they are the only publicly available ARM builds of Windows 10) and Windows 11 through the QEMU emulator, [7] VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop virtualization software, which also allows Linux. [8]
