Method for Handling Virtual Machine Graphics Processing Requests

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause said processor to perform operations for handling graphics processing requests comprising:

• creating a network communication pipeline for transmitting graphics data between a first virtual machine (VM) and a second VM via corresponding software installed on said first and second VMs, wherein said second VM has access to one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) via a hypervisor;
• obtaining a graphics processing request and associated unprocessed graphics data generated by said first VM with said software installed on said first VM, and transmitting said unprocessed graphics data to said second VM via said network communication pipeline;
• processing said unprocessed graphics data with at least one of said one or more GPUs allocated to said second VM, thereby generating processed graphics data;
• and
• transmitting said processed graphics data to said first VM via said network communication pipeline.
