Mediated GPU

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

Been following a number of documents on how to setup mediated devices for my UHD 630 onboard graphics processor and when I listed the the mdev supported types I got back the following: i915-GVTg_V5_4 i915-GVTg_V5_8

I cannot find anything that tells what this means. Anyone know?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

i915 is the Intel graphics driver
GVTg is the Intel's mediated device technology
V5_4 and V5_8 are the versions

This means that you can select one of these versions as mdev when assigning the PCI device to the VM.

Markus,

Does this mean I can assign these to 2 vms in total? What is the difference between v5_4 and v5_8?

Thanks,
Steve
