    • 雲端技術讓用戶只需簡單的用戶端軟硬體即可存取雲端伺服器中的資料、應用程式以及圖形化桌面環境，伺服器端使用硬體虛擬技術來支援大量且獨立的使用者運算環境，其中包含了提供使用者圖形化桌面的GPU虛擬化技術。

    本論文提出一個基於CASL Hypervisor及其全系統虛擬化平台的GPU虛擬化方法。CASL Hypervisor是設計給ARM　Realview開發板使用的Hypervisor。此方法可讓使用者應用程式不需修改即可移植至虛擬化平台上。除此之外，GPU硬體、GPU的控制流程以及資料傳送流程以及也重新設計以提高在虛擬化環境下的效能以及硬體平行度。硬體驅動程式也因應優化過的控制流程進行修改並使其能夠同時相容於虛擬化與非虛擬化環境。我們並提出新的資源的管理方式使得特定條件下能夠再度提升GPU performance。

    執行4個虛擬機器的情形下，一個虛擬機器預期可獲得25%非虛擬化環境的GPU效能。使用我們提出的GPU虛擬化方法後，每一個虛擬機器獲得的效能提升至37%。除此之外，與非虛擬環境相比，使用新的資源管理法可使虛擬環境下的GPU效能提升41%。

    Cloud servers can provide services such as computation tools, data center, and desktop environment to users. GPU virtualization techniques can be used to support independent user graphics desktop interfaces.

    This thesis proposes a GPU virtualization based on the CASL Hypervisor and its full system virtual platform and a virtualizable GPU. The CASL Hypervisor is designed for ARM Realview Baseboard and can virtualize unmodified ARM Linux operating system. To improve the GPU performance in the virtualization environment, the GPU hardware, the control flow and the data path have been optimized. The device driver is also modified for the new GPU control flow and the modified device driver is compatible to both virtual and non-virtual environment. We also propose a new triangle buffer management scheme of the hypervisor to further improve the performance and runtime parallelism.

    The expected performance of each GPU in 4 VMs case is around 25 percent of the non-virtualized case. However, through the proposed GPU virtualization solution, the GPU performance in the virtualization system with 4 VMs running is improved to 37% of the performance in non-virtualized case. According to the experimental result, the triangle buffer management can improve the performance with 1 VM running by 41% of the performance in non-virtualized case.
