What is GPU scheduling fairness in shared ML infrastructure?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

GPU scheduling fairness ensures equitable allocation of GPU resources across competing ML workloads.

Deep explanation

In shared GPU clusters, multiple training and inference workloads compete for limited GPU resources. Fair scheduling prevents starvation and ensures SLA compliance. Techniques include priority queues, quota enforcement, preemption, and bin packing optimization. Advanced schedulers consider memory fragmentation and compute intensity.
