Imagination Technologies’ ability to virtualize the GPU

What is GPU virtualization? Conceptually, virtualization is the capability of a device to host one or more virtual machines (VMs) that each behave like actual independent machines with their its own operating system (OS), all running on the same underlying device hardware. For GPUs, this means the capability to support multiple operating systems running concurrently, each capable of submitting graphics workloads to the single graphics hardware entity. GPU virtualization is now a must-have for a range of next-generation applications, from automotive, to consumer electronics, to the IoT. GPUs that implement hardware virtualization can provide isolation between the various applications/OSs for
