GPUd
GPUd is a term used to describe a hypothetical daemon or service designed to centralize the management of graphics processing unit resources in a single host or a computing cluster. Its primary goal is to enable safe, efficient sharing of GPUs among multiple processes and users while enforcing policies related to utilization, isolation, and thermal or power constraints.
In practice, a GPUd would provide a vendor-agnostic interface to query GPU state, assign devices to tasks,
Architecture and features commonly envisioned include a central scheduler, a driver abstraction layer, a policy engine,
Use cases include data centers and AI/ML training clusters, rendering farms, and high-performance computing environments that
Limitations include the lack of a formal standard; real-world implementation would depend on vendor driver APIs,
