Abstract

Techniques for implementing secure GPU virtualization using sandboxing are provided. In one set of embodiments, a hypervisor of a host system can receive one or more first graphics/compute commands issued by a guest application running within a VM of the host system. The hypervisor can further communicate the one or more first graphics/compute commands to a sandboxed software process that is separate from the hypervisor. The sandboxed software process can then translate the one or more first graphics/compute commands into one or more second graphics/compute commands and issue the one or more second graphics/compute commands for execution on a physical GPU.
