Abstract:
A hypervisor identifies a physical GPU device accessible by the hypervisor to be assigned to a virtual machine and retrieves a GPU device identifier from the physical GPU device. The hypervisor then determines a host bridge device identifier that corresponds to the retrieved GPU device identifier using a mapping table that maps a plurality of GPU device identifiers to a corresponding plurality of host bridge device identifiers.
