Abstract:
A graphics processing unit (GPU) service platform includes a control server, and a cluster of GPU servers each having one or more GPU devices. The control server receives a service request from a client system for GPU processing services, allocates multiple GPU servers within the cluster to handle GPU processing tasks specified by the service request by logically binding the allocated GPU servers, and designating one of the at least two GPU servers as a master server, and send connection information to the client system to enable the client system to connect to the master server. The master GPU server receives a block of GPU program code transmitted from the client system, which is associated with the GPU processing tasks specified by the service request, processes the block of GPU program code using the GPU devices of the logically bound GPU servers, and returns processing results to the client system.
