Abstract

Technologies for scheduling workload submissions for a graphics processing unit (GPU) in a virtualization environment include a GPU scheduler embodied in a computing device. The virtualization environment includes a number of different virtual machines that are configured with a native graphics driver. The GPU scheduler receives GPU commands from the different virtual machines, dynamically selects a scheduling policy, and schedules the GPU commands for processing by the GPU.
