Admin would like to leverage this and be able to dedicate > GPU to user VMs that have high graphic processing requirements. For > example, Auto-Cad applications, games. >=20 > This feature will enable the support of GPU and VGPU on XenServer and > further extend it to support VMWARE. With GPU support, admin can > dedicate a GPU card to a VM and in case of VGPU, multiple VMs can share > the same GPU card. >=20 > The Jira ticket for this feature can be found at: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4761 > And the tasks associated with this features are: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4760 > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4762 > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4763 >=20 > I am working on FS and will share it shortly. >=20 > --Sanjay >=20
