Abstract
An acceleration capacity adjustment method for adjusting an acceleration capacity of a virtual machine includes determining a to-be-adjusted virtual machine and an acceleration capacity requirement of the to-be-adjusted virtual machine; and reconfiguring, based on the to-be-adjusted virtual machine and the acceleration capacity requirement, an acceleration capacity of at least one virtual accelerator device that has been allocated to the to-be-adjusted virtual machine.
Claims20
An acceleration capacity adjustment method comprising:
- determining a to-be-adjusted virtual machine and an acceleration capacity requirement of the to-be-adjusted virtual machine based on an acceleration capacity allocation request;
- reconfiguring an acceleration capacity of a virtual accelerator device that has been allocated to the to-be-adjusted virtual machine based on the acceleration capacity requirement to adjust an acceleration capacity of the to-be-adjusted virtual machine, wherein the acceleration capacity requirement comprises a first acceleration type, a first algorithm type, and a first acceleration capacity value;
- reconfiguring a second acceleration capacity value in target configuration information when the target configuration information exists in configuration information of the virtual accelerator device;
- and
- adding new target configuration information to the virtual accelerator device when target configuration information does not exist in configuration information of the virtual accelerator device,
- wherein the new target configuration information comprises the first acceleration type, the first algorithm type, and the first acceleration capacity value of the acceleration capacity requirement.
