Abstract

Remote GPU virtualization is a mechanism that allows GPU-accelerated applications to be executed in computers without GPUs. Instead, GPUs from remote computers are used. Applications are not aware of using a remote GPU. However, overall performance depends on the throughput of the underlying network connecting the application to the remote GPUs. One way to increase this bandwidth is to compress transmissions made within the remote GPU virtualization middleware between the application side and the GPU side.

In this paper we make a two-fold contribution. On the one hand, we present a new compression benchmark with more than 40 compression libraries. On the other hand, we have gathered the internal transmissions of a remote GPU virtualization middleware while executing 4 popular artificial intelligence applications. With these data we have created a new dataset for testing compression libraries in this specific domain. Both, the new compression benchmark and the new dataset are publicly available.
