Documentation for administrators that explains how to install and configure NVIDIA Virtual GPU manager, configure virtual GPU software in pass-through mode, and install drivers on guest operating systems.

NVIDIA Virtual GPU (vGPU) 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. By doing this, NVIDIA vGPU provides VMs with unparalleled graphics performance, compute performance, and application compatibility, together with the cost-effectiveness and scalability brought about by sharing a GPU among multiple workloads.

In GPU pass-through mode, an entire physical GPU is directly assigned to one VM, bypassing the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager. In this mode of operation, the GPU is accessed exclusively by the NVIDIA driver running in the VM to which it is assigned. The GPU is not shared among VMs.

In a bare-metal deployment, you can use NVIDIA vGPU software graphics drivers with vWS and vApps licenses to deliver remote virtual desktops and applications. If you intend to use Tesla boards without a hypervisor for this purpose, use NVIDIA vGPU software graphics drivers, not other NVIDIA drivers.

The GPU that is set as the primary display adapter cannot be used for NVIDIA vGPU deployments or GPU pass through deployments. The primary display is the boot display of the hypervisor host, which displays SBIOS console messages and then boot of the OS or hypervisor.

If the hypervisor host does not have an extra graphics adapter, consider installing a low-end display adapter to be used as the primary display adapter. If necessary, ensure that the primary display adapter is set correctly in the BIOS options of the hypervisor host.

NVIDIA vGPU software supports GPU instances on GPUs that support the Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) feature in NVIDIA vGPU and GPU pass through deployments. MIG enables a physical GPU to be securely partitioned into multiple separate GPU instances, providing multiple users with separate GPU resources to accelerate their applications.

In addition to providing all the benefits of MIG, NVIDIA vGPU software adds virtual machine security and management for workloads. Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) virtual functions enable full IOMMU protection for the virtual machines that are configured with vGPUs.

Figure 1 shows a GPU that is split into three GPU instances of different sizes, with each instance mapped to one vGPU. Although each GPU instance is managed by the hypervisor host and is mapped to one vGPU, each virtual machine can further subdivide the compute resources into smaller compute instances and run multiple containers on top of them in parallel, even within each vGPU.

NVIDIA vGPU software supports a single-slice MIG-backed vGPU with DEC, JPG, and OFA support. Only one MIG-backed vGPU with DEC, JPG, and OFA support can reside on a GPU. The instance can be placed identically to a single-slice instance without DEC, JPG, and OFA support.

Not all hypervisors support GPU instances in NVIDIA vGPU deployments. To determine if your chosen hypervisor supports GPU instances in NVIDIA vGPU deployments, consult the release notes for your hypervisor at NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software Documentation.

To support GPU instances with NVIDIA vGPU, a GPU must be configured with MIG mode enabled and GPU instances must be created and configured on the physical GPU. For more information, see Configuring a GPU for MIG-Backed vGPUs. For general information about the MIG feature, see: NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU User Guide.

If you are using NVIDIA vGPU software with CUDA on Linux, avoid conflicting installation methods by installing CUDA from a distribution-independent runfile package. Do not install CUDA from a distribution-specific RPM or Deb package.

By default, NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit development tools are disabled on NVIDIA vGPU. If used, you must enable NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit development tools individually for each VM that requires them by setting vGPU plugin parameters. For instructions, see Enabling NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit Development Tools for NVIDIA vGPU.

Unified memory is disabled by default. If used, you must enable unified memory individually for each vGPU that requires it by setting a vGPU plugin parameter. For instructions, see Enabling Unified Memory for a vGPU.

In pass-through mode, vWS supports multiple virtual display heads at resolutions up to 8K and flexible virtual display resolutions based on the number of available pixels. For details, see Display Resolutions for Physical GPUs.

NVIDIA GPU Operator simplifies the deployment of NVIDIA vGPU software on software container platforms that are managed by the Kubernetes container orchestration engine. It automates the installation and update of NVIDIA vGPU software graphics drivers for container platforms running in guest VMs that are configured with NVIDIA vGPU.

NVIDIA GPU Operator uses a driver catalog published with the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics drivers to determine automatically the NVIDIA vGPU software graphics driver version that is compatible with a platform's Virtual GPU Manager.

Any drivers to be installed by NVIDIA GPU Operator must be downloaded from the NVIDIA Licensing Portal to a local computer. Automated access to the NVIDIA Licensing Portal by NVIDIA GPU Operator is not supported.

NVIDIA GPU Operator is supported only on specific combinations of hypervisor software release, container platform, vGPU type, and guest OS release. To determine if your configuration supports NVIDIA GPU Operator with NVIDIA vGPU deployments, consult the release notes for your chosen hypervisor at NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software Documentation.

The process for installing and configuring NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager depends on the hypervisor that you are using. After you complete this process, you can install the display drivers for your guest OS and license any NVIDIA vGPU software licensed products that you are using.

The high-level architecture of NVIDIA vGPU is illustrated in Figure 2. Under the control of the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager running under the hypervisor, NVIDIA physical GPUs are capable of supporting multiple virtual GPU devices (vGPUs) that can be assigned directly to guest VMs.

Guest VMs use NVIDIA vGPUs in the same manner as a physical GPU that has been passed through by the hypervisor: an NVIDIA driver loaded in the guest VM provides direct access to the GPU for performance-critical fast paths, and a paravirtualized interface to the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager is used for non-performant management operations.

In a time-sliced vGPU, processes that run on the vGPU are scheduled to run in series. Each vGPU waits while other processes run on other vGPUs. While processes are running on a vGPU, the vGPU has exclusive use of the GPU's engines. You can change the default scheduling behavior as explained in Changing Scheduling Behavior for Time-Sliced vGPUs.

The number of physical GPUs that a board has depends on the board. Each physical GPU can support several different types of virtual GPU (vGPU). vGPU types have a fixed amount of frame buffer, number of supported display heads, and maximum resolutions1. They are grouped into different series according to the different classes of workload for which they are optimized. Each series is identified by the last letter of the vGPU type name.
