Host core CPU utilization is higher than expected for moderate workloads#

Description#

When GPU performance is being monitored, host core CPU utilization is higher than expected for moderate workloads. For example, host CPU utilization when only a small number of VMs are running is as high as when several times as many VMs are running.

Workaround#

Disable monitoring of the following GPU performance statistics:

  • vGPU engine usage by applications across multiple vGPUs

  • Encoder session statistics

  • Frame buffer capture (FBC) session statistics

  • Statistics gathered by performance counters in guest VMs

Status#
