Abstract

This application discloses a heterogeneous computing device virtualization method and system. Wherein, the method includes: abstracting physical heterogeneous computing resources of heterogeneous computing devices into virtual heterogeneous computing resources, forming a mapping relationship between virtual heterogeneous computing resources and physical heterogeneous computing resources; The virtual heterogeneous computing resources are used to form virtual heterogeneous computing devices corresponding to the virtual operating environment; according to the mapping relationship, the physical heterogeneous computing resources corresponding to the virtual heterogeneous computing resources used by the virtual heterogeneous computing devices are scheduled to support The target application is run using heterogeneous computing resources in the virtual running environment. Adopting this processing method makes it available to users in the form of logical heterogeneous computing devices, and establishes new device forms in heterogeneous fields. It not only decouples software and hardware, reduces users' drive and interface adaptation for different hardware forms, but also supports flexibility. Greater efficiency and space, effectively improving the virtualization capabilities of heterogeneous computing devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cloud computing, and specifically relates to a virtualization method and system for heterogeneous computing devices, a board for heterogeneous computing devices, an application development device, a virtual heterogeneous computing device manager, and a virtualization management system. Background technique [0002] The development of cloud computing has entered the era of cloud native. Cloud native (Cloud Native) is a distributed cloud based on distributed deployment and unified operation and management. It is based on technologies such as containers, microservices, and DevOps (collectively referred to as processes, methods, and systems). Established a set of cloud technology product system. Cloud-native applications are designed for the "cloud". Compared with the traditional virtual machine or bare-metal era, artificial intelligence AI applications in the cloud-native era are miniaturized and n...
