The block diagram here: https://blog.cloudkernels.net/static/vaccel_v2/vaccelrt.png#... should probably have some close variant on your home page, I've been around for 20 years and couldn't tell /at all/ what vAccel is.

My best guess was something to do with making VMs run faster

thanks for your feedback! we will try to clarify things on our next posts!

in short vAccel is a framework that translates function calls from users (upper side of this diagram) to the relevant functions of the respective acceleration framework (lower side of the diagram). For instance, calling a function like image_classify (user function) would result in the respective image_classify of jetson-inference, which would, in turn, execute the image classification function on the GPU and return the result to the user.

hope that makes more sense!
