vGPU: Slicing of GPUs Simplified with SyncHPC

As the demand for remote visualization, computing and high-performance workloads increases, organizations are turning to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and GPU virtualization to meet performance, scalability, and flexibility needs. One of the most impactful innovations in this space is NVIDIA’s vGPU slicing and SyncHPC is making it easier than ever to implement. Whether you’re supporting designers on heavy CAD software, engineers running simulations, or students using AI tools in a virtual lab vGPU slicing makes it possible.

In today’s 3D visualization, computing and AI-driven workloads, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are indispensable. Modern accelerators such as the NVIDIA L4, NVIDIA L40S, and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition deliver significant performance for graphics, visualization and computing. But here’s the challenge: not every task requires the full strength of a GPU. Traditional allocation models often lead to underutilization and wasted investment. However, traditional GPU allocation often leads to underutilization, especially when full GPU power isn’t required for every task or every user. Enter vGPU slicing a technology that allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) or containers to share a single physical GPU with remarkable efficiency.

At Syncious, we’ve integrated vGPU slicing directly into SyncHPC, our end-to-end VDI orchestration platform. This ensures resource optimization, workload acceleration, and cost-efficiency like never before.

What is vGPU Slicing?

vGPU (Virtual GPU) Slicing is the ability to partition a single physical GPU into multiple virtual slices. These slices can then be allocated to separate workloads or virtual machines, allowing each to operate as if they had access to a dedicated GPU without the cost and energy footprint of multiple physical GPUs.

Key Benefits of vGPU Slicing in SyncHPC

🔹 Optimal GPU Utilization

With SyncHPC’s smart job scheduler, vGPU slices are dynamically assigned based on job requirements. No more idle GPUs every core, tensor, and memory unit is maximized.

🔹 Scalable Workloads

Whether you’re running multiple lightweight AI inference jobs or hosting containerized development environments, vGPU slicing allows flexible scaling without additional hardware investment.

🔹 Seamless Integration with VDI

Through SyncVDI, our integrated Virtual Desktop Infrastructure offering, GPU slices can power multiple developer or data scientist desktops from a single server each getting dedicated GPU performance.

🔹 Cost Efficiency

vGPU slicing drastically reduces hardware requirements. Instead of provisioning a full GPU per user, organizations can support 4–7x more users with the same infrastructure.

How SyncHPC Enables vGPU Slicing

SyncHPC offers a visual GPU slicing options that shows:

  • Real-time GPU usage across VMs/containers
  • Slice selection and allocation to a specific VM/container

Administrators can easily allocate or revoke slices, ensuring fair usage and high availability for critical tasks.

Scalable Across Multiple Hosts

You can configure multiple host servers, each equipped with one or more physical GPUs, and create multiple vGPUs per server all managed through SyncHPC Platform.

This distributed setup allows you to:

  • Deploy vGPU-powered VDI environments at scale
  • Dynamically allocate vGPUs across users and workloads
  • Maintain load balance and high availability across your infrastructure

VDI solutions with KVM Virtualization and SyncHPC

Managing NVIDIA vGPU in KVM offers a powerful and scalable solution for GPU virtualization in enterprise environments. With SyncHPC’s seamless integration, administrators can easily allocate GPU resources to virtual machines, enabling high-performance workloads such as AI/ML, 3D rendering, and many more.

Future-Ready Infrastructure

As workloads diversify, remote 3D use cases and AI adoption accelerates, vGPU slicing will be central to managing performance demands and costs. SyncHPC’s commitment to innovation ensures you’re ready for that future today.
