Gpu-remoting latency aware migration system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886898B2) discloses a system designed to optimize the migration of virtual machines within a datacenter cluster based on GPU-remoting latencies. The system, implemented on at least one computing device with executable instructions, monitors resources across multiple hosts, identifies a host running a mix of virtual machines including GPU-remoting client VMs, and determines when migration is necessary. This decision is based on factors such as co-location with GPU remoting server VMs, host resource utilization exceeding a threshold, and the absence of migratable non-GPU-remoting VMs. By calculating GPU-remoting latencies for different hosts and selecting a destination host with lower latency, the system efficiently migrates GPU-remoting client VMs to improve performance.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a method that mirror the system's functionality. These claims emphasize the identification of hosts with sufficient resources for GPU-remoting client VMs, the necessity of migration under specific conditions, and the utilization of GPU-remoting API calls for accessing GPU resources. By focusing on optimizing GPU-remoting latencies and ensuring seamless migration of virtual machines, the patented system aims to enhance the overall efficiency and performance of datacenter clusters, particularly in scenarios involving GPU workloads and remote access to GPU resources.
