Hey, I could be the person doing the talking! I speak English well enough for a non native speaker, and I understand technical vocab. :P

Any news about hardware GPU virtualization? I know some Quadro have it, I would be willing to buy them for my servers but I want FOSS drivers. Do they support such feature?## VGA ##
AMD: X1950XTX, HD3870, HD5870
Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)

I've tried to start a bounty at BountySource for it to get some more attention and perhaps some talent to help fix it as quite a few of us at r/VFIO are happy to put money towards a bounty to see it fixed. However BountySource has had a bug for a while now with submitting bounties to kernel bug tracker So I can't start a bounty for it yet, nor can anyone create bounties for any kernel bugs on BountySource. There is a Github issue for it but not much activity on the matter, to the point someone started a bounty to get the support fixed...
Michael phoronix (Can't tell what Michael is the correct one to tag?) know any good bounty services the linux community can use for kernel bugs since BountySource doesn't seem to be too active on resolving the issue?

You can pass through consumer GPU, I have done it with Nvidia GTX 1070, only requires two extra lines to get around the protections nvidia put in place to detect VMs from using their drivers. AMD cards don't have that issue,Originally posted by darkbasic View PostWait... do you mean that MxGPU works on Vega 64? I thought it didn't work on anything but Firepro... Can someone from AMD confirm?Test signature

If you want to share a device with multiple VMs and/or host, you need the support that Intel is doing here with mediated VFIO interface, or SR-IOV(professional AMD GPU and Intel networking cards have this).

I personally think they should have some professional speaker do the talks, while the developer is in the room for answering questions only.
Maybe Intel should also hire different developers, I tried this vgt about three times and still could not get it to work, not to mention the last time I tried this compositor was still nowhere to be seen, ... :-/
