vGPU options for current XCP-ng?
-
I'm attempting to virtualize some media functions and doing video work on raw CPU is just crazy. (I've got an app running 80% on second gen 3Ghz Epyc with 12 vCPU's). I'm pretty sure if I had a vGPU to throw at it I could cut that down significantly.
From what I've seen, it looks like AMD is broken, NVidia works but requires expensive hardware and equally expensive licensing, and Intel isn't even remotely going to work.
Is that pretty much the state of things?
Thanks!

Pretty much I'm afraid. That's why we are investigating things on our end.

From what it looks like...If XCP-ng could move to kernel 6.8+ the Intel SR-IOV option should be on the table. That's a pretty massive jump from 4.19 and I have no idea how much effort that would be for you guys.

It's not the main "problem", and yes, XCP-ng 9.0 will use a far more recent kernel
It's also a question of vendor partnership and so on. But as I said, we are working on it
