Layer 3: OS, driver, and virtualization

“

So, hope you are getting a better understanding of all the NVIDIA software and hardware stack we have. So, we started here and we were able to discuss about the data movement, we talked about IO acceleration and we discussed about physical layer. Once this has been established, we need to ensure that we have an operating system layer or a driver layer on top of it, that is where OS driver and virtualization comes into picture. So, let's focus on this particular layer which is layer 3 where we have capabilities of running an operating system which is fine-tuned for DGX system, we will talk about GPU drivers and we will also focus on virtualization of GPUs. So this is layer 3. Let's first talk about DGX operating system. Obviously, when you have a system, it would need an OS to run and function properly. Like you have Windows and Linux based operating system which are fine-tuned for specific use cases. Then we have virtualization operating systems or hypervisors who are also designed…
