Breaking the Tradeoff: Elastic and Isolated GPU Sharing with Ghost

Unknown authors
· 0 citations · 70 references

TL;DR

Ghost is an OS-level GPU virtualization layer integrated directly into the open-source GPU driver, using a GPU container abstraction with cgroup -like APIs for compute and memory control and privileged hardware-level scheduling and preemption for dynamic compute resource management.

gPooling: An Elastic GPU Resource Management Framework for On-Demand Virtualization in Shared Accelerator Clusters

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC), GPUs and other accelerators have become a shared computing substrate for a wide range of workloads. However, many shared accelerator clusters still rely on coarse device-level allocation, which often leads to low effective utili...

SAI: Virtualizing Shared Memory of GPU for AI workload acceleration

This work proposes SAI, a mechanism that virtualizes shared memory into the L2 cache to improve GPU performance for AI applications and introduces an L2 cache management strategy that integrates associativity-based virtual page allocation and a replacement information table, reducing page-swapping overhead while preser...

GPU Offload in Rust: Portable, Safe, and Fast

This paper presents a zero-overhead, multi-vendor GPU compilation framework built natively into the Rust compiler (rustc) and LLVM backends, and leverages Rust's rich type system, ownership system, and strict aliasing guarantees to efficiently manage and optimize data transfers through LLVM's Offload infrastructure.

ElastiCo: Elastic Configuration and Interference-Aware Orchestration for GPU Clusters

ElastiCo is presented, an elastic co-location framework that enables training and inference workloads to safely share GPUs through three integrated mechanisms that decomposes the resulting multi-resource allocation problem into per-job configuration selection subproblems via dynamic per-resource shadow prices.

Resource Efficiency and Performance Predictability in A Groupwise, Hardware-Prioritized Cache on NVMe SSDs

Thanks to notable performance and capacity advantages, NVMe SSDs promise an effective cache tier for alleviating the load pressure of back-end storage servers. Compared with DRAM, an NVMe SSD exhibits up to hundreds of times larger capacity but delivers two orders of magnitude smaller bandwidth per gigabyte. This paper...

FreeToken: Efficient Edge-Native MoE Serving with Bandwidth-Adaptive Execution

Frontier open-weight models are increasingly available, but serving them still largely assumes datacenter infrastructure. We present FreeToken, an edge-native MoE serving system that treats a personal machine not as a small GPU, but as a unified, elastic inference platform. FreeToken co-designs the full serving stack,...
