GPU stands for Graphical Processing Unit. Now that we have all these graphics stored on the Central Processing Unit or CPU we need a way to render these objects efficiently. Virtualization is a key technology here and interacts well with the server side of computers.

Tools to consider for GPU:

  • VirtualGL
    • redirects 3D commands from a Unix/Linux OpenGL application onto a server-side GPU and converts the rendered 3D images into a video stream with which remote clients can interact to view and control the 3D application in real time.

Relevantly, Paulo from IEEE told me about Hiperwalk. A GPU-optimized program aiding in the study of quantum walks. It is worth reaching out to him.
