Abstract:

Systems and methods provide a provisioning framework for a distributed graphics processing unit (GPU) service. A network device in a network receives, from an application, a service request for multi-access edge compute (MEC)-based virtual graphic processing unit (vGPU) services. The network device receives real-time utilization data from multiple MEC clusters in different MEC network locations and generates a utilization view of the multiple MEC clusters in the different MEC network locations. The network device selects, based on the real-time utilization view, one of the different MEC network locations to provide the vGPU services and instructs a of the multiple MEC clusters in the one of the different MEC network locations to perform container provisioning and service provisioning for the vGPU services.
