Abstract
Examples of the disclosure assign a plurality of graphics processing units (GPUs) to a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) or processes. A composite score is generated for each GPU. The composite score represents the normalized processing capabilities of the multiple GPUs. Based on a comparison between the composite scores and allocated quantum corresponding to a proportional amount of GPU resources to which each VM is entitled, each VM is assigned to at least one of the GPUs. Graphics commands from the VMs are scheduled for execution by the assigned GPUs.
