Any plans for this feature ? Would be nice to use a 12Gb Titan X and allocate 4Gb of Vram to 4 VMs.

This needs to be supported by the GPU. As far as I know, you can already use a GPU for two VM's if you use a quadro card from nvidia. Requirement is that the card is split in different iommu groups.

Oh really?!  Damn I need to buy a p4000 sooner than I thought. Can anyone confirm this?!

Would like to know what are the options?

What about AMD MxGPU?

 

I could not find anything on the state in jvm, but AMD has downloady for KVM available.

@saarg A little bit old reply to this post but I´m curious about this "nvidia grid" thing.

 

I have a Quadro P4000 in my server that is shared to some dockers, problem is that I got about 99% GPU left to use. Would be great if I could split the GPU to atleast 1 VM running at the same time as the dockers. So my question is, how do split the card in different iommu groups?

Correct, but only enterprise gpus, which cost a lot of money.

Not possible with a p4000, sorry.

 

Moreover, I'm quite sure nvidia grid is not compatible with the kvm hypervisor.

Ah ok, thanks for the info.

According to this KVM does support it in some configurations:

https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/latest/grid-vgpu-release-notes-generic-linux-kvm/index.html#hypervisor-software-versions

 

That link says it is supported on Red Hat versions of Linux, but Unraid is Slackware based.

It would indeed be great, and even without thinking of gaming, just for GPU accelerated virtual desktop VMs or video encoding VM
(because you know... cineform, adobe encoder on windows 10 mandatory to me.)

Even more interresting since I locally found a source for eventually acquiring 4 Grid K2 s for 50€ a piece. If someone has any input of if it might work or not, I'm might take the leap!

 

I have a R720 that could take them in, and a R710 sleeping in a box in my storage. Could totally happen.

Any updates on P4000 slicing in Unraid?

 

It'd be INCREDIBLE to be able to quarter this card into 4 VM displays!

I believe nvidia requires licensing, software and OS support for this to work, it's called Nvidia GRID.
