Managing Virtualized Accelerators Using Admission Control, Load Balancing and Scheduling

A system and method is shown that includes an admission control module that resides in a management/driver domain, the admission control module to admit a domain that is part of a plurality of domains, into the computer system based upon one of a plurality of accelerators satisfying a resource request of the domain. The system and method also includes a load balancer module, which resides in the management/driver domain, the load balancer to balance at least one load from the plurality of domains across the plurality of accelerators. Further, the system and method also includes a scheduler module that resides in the management/driver domain, the scheduler to multiplex multiple requests from the plurality of domains to one of the plurality of accelerators.
