Manage GPU devices

Workspace integrates the NVIDIA Virtual GPU technology to provide GPU virtualization services for VM users in Windows 10, 3D graphic design, and multimedia environments. GPU virtualization increases GPU resource usage by allowing multiple VMs to share a physical GPU resource.

Application scenarios

Applicable to automated GPU hardware resource allocation and release for virtualization services of radio and television, earthquake and meteorology, and art and design industries. You can perform this task to meet high-performance requirements of services such as high-definition video transmission, satellite cloud mapping, and geological structure and 3D graphics imaging.

Configuration workflow

  1. Synchronize GPU devices and add vGPU to virtualize physical GPU devices into multiple vGPUs. For more information, see "Synchronize GPU devices" and "Add vGPUs."

  1. Add iRS tasks for vGPU resources. For more information, see "Add an iRS service."

  1. Apply vGPUs to VMs. For more information, see "Edit a VM."

  1. Install the NVIDIA driver on each VM and connect the VMs to the vGPU license server.

Prerequisites

Make sure the host is installed and configured with a physical GPU.
