Nvidia, VMware partner to offer virtualized GPUs ZDNet

Nvidia and VMware on Monday announced a new software product that lets customers virtualize GPUs, either on premise or as part of VMware Cloud on AWS. The companies say it's the first hybrid cloud offering that lets enterprises use GPUs to accelerate AI, machine learning or deep learning workloads. "In a modern data center, organizations are going to be using GPUs to power AI, deep learning, analytics," John Fanelli, VP of product management for Nvidia, told reporters. "And due to the scale of those types of workloads, they're going to be doing some processing on premise in data centers, some processing in clouds and continually iterating between them." The new offering starts with the enterprise data center product -- Nvidia's new Virtual Compute Server (vComputeServer) software.
