INTEL GVT-G HOST SUPPORT(9)

💖 Intel GVT-g host support(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is straight from the Kernel API Manual — and it's giving graphics virtualization realness. ✨

Intel GVT-g is a graphics virtualization technology which shares the GPU among multiple virtual machines on a time-sharing basis. 💅

Each virtual machine is presented a virtual GPU (vGPU), which has equivalent features as the underlying physical GPU (pGPU), so i915 driver can run seamlessly in a virtual machine. no cap 🦋

To virtualize GPU resources GVT-g driver depends on hypervisor technology e.g. KVM/VFIO/mdev, Xen, etc. to provide resource access trapping capability and be virtualized within GVT-g device module. 🎀
