Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for local-to-remote migration for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. A virtual compute instance comprising a local GPU is provisioned from a provider network. The provider network comprises a plurality of computing devices configured to implement a plurality of virtual compute instances with multi-tenancy. A virtual GPU is attached to the virtual compute instance. The virtual GPU is implemented using a physical GPU, and the physical GPU is accessible to the virtual compute instance over a network. Graphics processing for the virtual compute instance is migrated from the local GPU to the virtual GPU. An application is executed using the virtual GPU on the virtual compute instance.
