The scale of cloud computing data centers is similar to the supercomputers used in High Performance Computing. Both involve millions of CPU cores, tens of thousands of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs connected by high speed interconnects and different connection topologies. Studies have shown that the GPU utilization in HPC is often at 50%. Virtualization can be the key to increasing resource utilization and managing massive infrastructures efficiently. </div><div style="font-size:13.3333px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13.3333px">GPU vendors have introduced virtualized versions of GPUs. FPGAs are being deployed in virtual infrastructure.
