Problems facing Operating Systems In Resource Management Of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

Abstract

The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has become a very powerful platform for graphics acceleration, and also for processing applications with parallel and complex computing data. This unit significantly outperforms traditional multi-core processors in performance and energy efficiency. Its application areas are also increasing widely in integrated and high-performance computing systems. Although, the support of operating systems for them is not sufficient , because operating systems lack the modules, design, and efforts applied in Resource Management (GPU) for multitasking environments.

This research defines a resource management model (GPU) to secure the foundation for operating system research using GPU technology, in particular, the basic concepts of resource management (GPU) and challenges facing operating systems and will also highlightedthe future directions of the research field
