OVERVIEW
11.1.1 About NVIDIA KVM
The NVIDIA Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a virtualization solution based on
the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (https://www.linux-kvm.org
) and enhanced to enable
GPU multi-tenancy. Since the KVM Hypervisor is part of the Linux kernel on the DGX-2
System, it contains the system-level components necessary to support multi-tenancy on
the DGX-2 System, such as a memory manager, process scheduler, input/output (I/O)
stack, device drivers, security manager, and a network stack.
The following diagram depicts an overview of the NVIDIA KVM architecture, showing
the hardware layer, the DGX Server KVM OS, and the virtual machines.
