There are also some benefits in load balancing GPUs. For instance processes can be controlled with controlled groups (cgroups) and niceness/thread affinity to make sure scheduling / resource allocation is done equitably between processes on the system. Using GVM and 'app VMs' it is possible to do similar things with the GPU (restrict GPU processes to a user configurable slice of the GPU so it cannot deny service to other processes on the system which are also using the GPU):

Since this type of load balancing was originally used in the datacenter where virtual machine multi-tenancy was the use case the Quality of Service (QoS) functions here are fairly robust.
