Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate disaggregated computing for a distributed confidential computing environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) to: provide a virtual GPU monitor (VGM) to interface over a network with a middleware layer of a client platform, the VGM to interface with the middleware layer using a message passing interface; configure and expose, by the VGM, virtual functions (VFs) of the GPU to the middleware layer of the client platform; intercept, by the VGM, request messages directed to the GPU from the middleware layer, the request messages corresponding to VFs of the GPU to be utilized by the client platform; and generate, by the VGM, a response to the request messages for the middleware client.
