A graphic session coordinator is established to enable remote virtualized graphics operations on behalf of a set of graphics request generators. A request generator submits a graphics session request to the session coordinator. A configuration operation is performed at one or more routing devices to enable graphics operation request packets from the request generator to be delivered to a first remote virtualized graphics device and to enable graphics operation response packets to be transmitted to a destination.

Session coordination for auto-scaled virtualized graphics processing

Techniques for providing a managed time service are described. A control plane of the managed time service can receive data indicating one or more network time protocol (NTP) hosts are active. The control plane can update a zonal domain name system (DNS) to include the one or more NTP hosts. The at least one compute resource accesses the one or more NTP hosts using the zonal DNS, and the one or more NTP hosts provide time data to the at least one compute resource. The control plane can receive performance data from the one or more NTP hosts and automatically scale the one or more NTP hosts based on the performance data.

Managed time service for compute resources

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for interaction monitoring for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. Execution of an application is initiated on a virtual compute instance that is implemented using CPU and memory resources of a server. Instruction calls are produced by the execution of the application and sent from the server to a graphics server over a network. The graphics server comprises a physical GPU, and a virtual GPU is implemented using the physical GPU and attached to the virtual compute instance. GPU output is generated at the graphics server based at least in part on execution of the instruction calls using the virtual GPU. A log of interactions between the application and the virtual GPU is stored. The interactions comprise the instruction calls sent to the graphics server and responses to the instruction calls sent to the virtual compute instance.

Interaction monitoring for virtualized graphics processing

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for capacity reservation for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. A request is received to attach a virtual GPU to a virtual compute instance. The request comprises one or more constraints. Availability information is retrieved from a data store that indicates virtual GPUs available in a provider network and matching the one or more constraints. A virtual GPU is selected from among the available virtual GPUs in the availability information. The selected virtual GPU is reserved for attachment to the virtual compute instance. The virtual compute instance is implemented using CPU resources and memory resources of a physical compute instance, the virtual GPU is implemented using a physical GPU in the provider network, and the physical GPU is accessible to the physical compute instance over a network.

Capacity reservation for virtualized graphics processing

A first remote virtualized graphics device is instantiated in response to a determination that processing of graphics operations is to be enabled in a first availability mode on behalf of a compute instance. A configuration operation is performed at a routing device to enable packets from the first remote virtualized graphics device to be transmitted to a graphics result destination. In response to an indication of unavailability, the routing device is configured to enable packets from a second remote virtualized graphics device to be directed to the graphics result destination.

Availability modes for virtualized graphics processing

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for dynamic and application-specific virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. Execution of an application is initiated on a virtual compute instance. The virtual compute instance is implemented using a server. One or more graphics processing unit (GPU) requirements associated with the execution of the application are determined. A physical GPU resource is selected from a pool of available physical GPU resources based at least in part on the one or more GPU requirements. A virtual GPU is attached to the virtual compute instance based at least in part on initiation of the execution of the application. The virtual GPU is implemented using the physical GPU resource selected from the pool and accessible to the server over a network.

Dynamic and application-specific virtualized graphics processing

A determination is made that network access between a virtualized graphics device and a compute instance of a client is to be enabled. A source network address for graphics-related traffic of the compute instance is identified. From a range of source port numbers associated with the source network address, a particular source port number which is unused is found. Routing metadata is transmitted to one or more routing devices indicating that a key based at least in part on (a) the source network address and (b) the particular source port number is to be used to identify a route for network packets from the first application compute instance to a virtualized graphics device.

Network traffic management for virtualized graphics devices

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for dynamic interface synchronization for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. A GPU interface synchronization request is sent from a compute instance to a graphics processing unit (GPU) server via a network. The GPU server comprises a virtual GPU attached to the compute instance and implemented using at least one physical GPU. Based at least in part on the GPU interface synchronization request, a shared version of a GPU interface is determined for use with the compute instance and the GPU server. Program code of the shared version of the GPU interface is installed on the compute instance and on the GPU server. Using the shared version of the GPU interface, the compute instance sends instructions to the virtual GPU over the network, and the virtual GPU generates GPU output associated with the instructions.

Dynamic interface synchronization for virtualized graphics processing

In a computing environment, a request to fulfill a computational task and a constraint for fulfilling the computational task is received from an entity. The request is independent of the quantity or type of resource slot to fulfill the computation task. The quantity or type of resource slots sufficient to fulfill the request is determined in accordance with a constraint. The resource slots are associated with the entity and allocated a plurality of geographically separate computing environments. Master resource slots are allocated in the geographically separate computing environments based on the criterion and the quantity or type of resource slots. The master resource slots can be reallocated based on changes to the allocated resources slots.
