Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for computational task offloading for virtualized graphics are disclosed. A virtual GPU attached to a virtual compute instance is provisioned in a multi-tenant provider network. The virtual compute instance is implemented using a physical compute instance, and the virtual GPU is implemented using a physical GPU. Using a microcode compilation service, program code is compiled into microcode for a target GPU type associated with the virtual GPU. The microcode is executed on the virtual GPU.
