The State Of Intel's GPU Virtualization Pass-Through On Linux

The lengthy presentation covers at length their approach to Intel GPU support within virtual machines. The current state comes down to the KVMGT/XenGT changes being upstream in Linux and QEMU, support for Broadwell/Skylake/Kabylake on Linux and also for Windows guests, most GPU-based applications should be working, and the performance is decent. With one VM active and running media workloads, Intel graphics should see around 95% peak performance of the native performance or about 85% on average.
