Some old AMD workstation GPUs supported SR-IOV, that repo was just archived. https://open-iov.org/index.php/GPU_Support#AMD https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualiza... As "AI" use cases mature, NPU/AIE-ML virtualization will also be needed.

Thanks for posting this good news. Some old AMD workstation GPUs did support SR-IOV, that repo was archived yesterday. https://open-iov.org/index.php/GPU_Support#AMD https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualiza...

In AMD open sources GIM virtualization driver

> And I understand NVIDIA is even worse re: GPU virtualization. Nope, it’s much better on the nvidia side actually. The latest AMD GPU with a publicly accessible OSS GIM driver is the AMD S7150, which was released in 2016. (https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualiza...) And it’s locked out from most AMD SKUs today, so even if you got a modern GIM driver, you’ll need very special SKUs to enable it and use virtual GPUs. > The good news is that I understand this support is actually good on the Intel side Not anymore. GVT-g is gone on Ice Lake (Intel 10th generation mobile, 11th gen desktop) so that you can no longer do hardware vGPU on newer Intel parts at all. Sad thing is that what you said used to be true. Meanwhile NVIDIA GRID needs licensing fees but actually works, with high end GPU options being available. And has al
