Dynamic provisioning of virtual video memory based on virtual video controller configuration

A computing system, comprising:

• a plurality of child partitions;
• and
• a video memory controller configured to:
• identify at least one video setting associated with a first child partition of the plurality of child partitions;
• determine, based on the at least one video setting of the first child partition, a first amount of memory for graphics processing for the first child partition, and
• request that a first requested amount of memory in the computing system be reserved for graphics processing for the first child partition, the first requested amount of memory based on the first amount of memory.

A computer readable medium having instructions embodied thereon for reserving memory for graphics processing for at least one child partition of a plurality of child partitions in a virtual computing environment, the instructions comprising:

• instructions to identify at least one video setting for a first child partition;
• instructions to determine, based on the at least one video setting for the first child partition, a first amount of memory for graphics processing for the first child partition;
• and
• instructions to request that a first requested amount of memory in the virtual computing environment be reserved for graphics processing for the first child partition, the first requested amount of memory based on the first amount of memory.
