Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate disaggregated computing for a distributed confidential computing environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors to: provide a remote GPU middleware layer to act as a proxy for an application stack on a client platform separate from the apparatus; communicate, by the remote GPU middleware layer, with a kernel mode driver of the one or more processors to cause the host memory to be allocated for command buffers and data structures received from the client platform for consumption by a command streamer of a remote GPU of the apparatus; and invoke, by the remote GPU middleware layer, the kernel mode driver to submit a workload generated by the application stack, the workload submitted for processing by the remote GPU using the command buffers and the data structures allocated in the host memory as directed by the command streamer.
