Abstract
Examples of GPU resource sharing among distributed applications in a distributed computing environment are disclosed. In one example, a method includes receiving a first request from a first distributed application of the plurality of distributed applications for first requested GPU resources. The method may further include receiving a second request from a second distributed application of the plurality of distributed applications for second requested GPU resources. The method may also include receiving response from each of the plurality of computing nodes indicating an availability of GPU resources for each of the plurality of computing nodes. Additionally, the method may include, responsive to determining that at least one of the first and second requests can be fulfilled by at least one of the plurality of computing nodes, allocating a first set of GPU slices for the first application and allocating a second set of GPU slices for the second application.
