A system, method and computer program product for a system, method and computer program product for using a GPU of a host computer system for supporting functionality of a number of VMs implemented on the host computer system. The GPU usage by a VM includes e.g., sharing a video card with a VM hypervisor; executing applications controlled by the hypervisor; optimization of a snapshot memory consumption; CRC calculations for memory ballooning; on-the-fly disk data encryption; indexing disk data; efficient data compression for HDD; compression of the VM execution trace data and video traffic; computations for backup storage; AV scanning; firewall-related services; traffic encryption (IPSec); processing and restoration of disk transactions; optimization of incremental backups (creation and comparison of snapshots); traffic indexing and replay; isolating some applications on the GPU for virus protection; optimization of runtime compilers.
