Slicing a GPU - Virtually

Feedback form is now closed.
There are multiple ways to run 3D workloads in KVM guests. This session
will explore the many options that are usable today, as well as a few
more that are still work in progress, and clarify the options available
for recente products from each of the main GPU vendors.

In particular, the session will cover:
- Direct GPU assignment, dedicating a GPU for a specific VM
- vGPU, which lets you split a single GPU for use in multiple VMs
- VirtIO GPU, which offers more flexibility at the expense of performance
- SPICE streaming for remote 3D rendering

After attending the session, attendees should be able to
1. Know how to choose a 3D virtualization solution that matches their needs
2. Know how to configure a virtual machine in that configuration
3. Understand performance and quality trade-offs"
