Researchers have developed VUDA, a system designed to enhance GPU utilization by enabling simultaneous execution of CUDA compute and Vulkan graphics workloads. This is achieved by breaking down the isolation between these two distinct GPU contexts, which traditionally operate in mutually exclusive time slices. VUDA facilitates spatial parallelism through API annotations and driver-level modifications, allowing for unified address spaces and eliminating data copying on the critical path. Experiments show VUDA can increase throughput by up to 85% for embodied AI applications. AI
