Methods, Systems and Computer Program Products for Optimized Virtualization of Processing Units for Cloud Computing Based Services

A system for optimized virtualization of processing units for implementing one or more cloud computing services, the system comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• a processor configured to perform the steps of:
• receiving a request for instantiating at least one cloud computing service;
• assigning for execution of the at least one cloud computing service:
• a first set of central processing unit (CPU) shares;
• and
• a first set of graphic processing unit (GPU) shares;
• and executing a set of processes corresponding to the at least one cloud computing service, wherein:
• a first sub-set of processes within the set of processes are executed by the first set of CPU shares;
• and
• a second sub-set of processes within the set of processes are executed by the first set of GPU shares;
• wherein:
• the first set of CPU shares comprises at least one CPU share from among a second set of CPU shares implemented at a CPU core;
• the first set of GPU shares comprises at least on GPU share from among a second set of GPU shares implemented at a GPU core;
• and
• a first number of CPU shares within the second set of CPU shares is different from a second number of GPU shares within the second set of GPU shares.

A computer program product for optimized virtualization of processing units for implementing one or more cloud computing services, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for implementing the steps of:

• receiving a request for instantiating at least one cloud computing service;
• assigning for execution of the at least one cloud computing service:
• a first set of central processing unit (CPU) shares;
• and
• a first set of graphic processing unit (GPU) shares;
• and executing a set of processes corresponding to the at least one cloud computing service, wherein:
• a first sub-set of processes within the set of processes are executed by the first set of CPU shares;
• and
• a second sub-set of processes within the set of processes are executed by the first set of GPU shares;
• wherein:
• the first set of CPU shares comprises at least one CPU share from among a second set of CPU shares implemented at a CPU core;
• the first set of GPU shares comprises at least on GPU share from among a second set of GPU shares implemented at a GPU core;
• and
• a first number of CPU shares within the second set of CPU shares is different from a second number of GPU shares within the second set of GPU shares.
