Abstract

Disclosed are aspects of network function placement in virtual graphics processing unit (vGPU)-enabled environments. In one example a network function request is associated with a network function. A scheduler selects a vGPU-enabled GPU to handle the network function request. The vGPU-enabled GPU is selected in consideration of a network function memory requirement or a network function IO requirement. The network function request is processed using an instance of the network function within a virtual machine that is executed using the selected vGPU-enabled GPU.
