NVIDIA has just announced at its GTC conference that the NVIDIA Kepler* graphics processor (GPU) has been designed to support virtualized environments which are the basis of cloud computing. GPUs are traditionally very hard to integrate in a virtual environment because GPUs have traditionally been designed around performance, which often resonates with a “direct to the metal” programming mentality. These days, GPUs are fast enough to add a thin hardware layer that translates virtual addresses to physical addresses, along with virtualizing every graphics hardware commands. .
