Abstract

An apparatus and method are described for intelligent cloud based testing of graphics hardware and software. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a hardware pool comprising a plurality of test machines to perform cloud-based graphics validation operations; a virtual resource pool comprising data associated a plurality of different graphics hardware resources; a resource manager to coordinate between the hardware pool and the virtual resource pool to cause one or more virtual machines (VMs) to be executed on one or more of the test machines using resources from the virtual resource pool; and a task dispatcher to dispatch graphics validation tasks to the VMs responsive to user input.
