Explanation

GPU pass-through is used when one or more GPUs are dedicated to a single VM. Pass-through allows the VM to address the GPU directly without having to go through the hypervisor stack. This significantly improves performance for the application. Pass-through is used for very GPU- intensive workloads such as deep learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.
