Virtual GPU and Pass-Through GPU


Virtual GPU Software User Guide
NVIDIA virtual GPU software enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to have simultaneous, direct access to a single physical GPU, using the same NVIDIA graphics drivers that are deployed on non-virtualized operating systems.
gpumodeswitch User Guide
NVIDIA virtual GPU requires GPUs that support compute mode and graphics mode to operate in graphics mode. If your GPU supports both modes but is supplied in compute mode, you must use gpumodeswitch to change the mode of the GPU to graphics mode.

Virtual GPU Licensing


See NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software License Server Documentation to find the documentation for the release of the license server that you are using.

Client Licensing User Guide
NVIDIA® Quadro® Virtual Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS), NVIDIA GRID™ Virtual PC, and GRID Virtual Applications are available as licensed products on NVIDIA Tesla™ GPUs. To enable the full features of the vGPU, configure the licensing for these products. vGPUs that require licensing run at a reduced capability until a license is acquired.

Virtual GPU Software Management


See NVIDIA Virtual GPU Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations Documentation to find the documentation for the release of the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations that you are using.

Management SDK User Guide
The NVIDIA virtual GPU software management SDK enables third party applications to monitor and control all NVIDIA physical GPUs and virtual GPUs that are running on virtualization hosts.
