Hi all, We are pleased to announce another update of Intel GVT-g for Xen. Intel GVT-g is a full GPU virtualization solution with mediated pass-through, starting from 4th generation Intel Core(TM) processors with Intel Graphics processors. A virtual GPU instance is maintained for each VM, with part of performance critical resources directly assigned. The capability of running native graphics driver inside a VM, without hypervisor intervention in performance critical paths, achieves a good balance among performance, feature, and sharing capability. Xen is currently supported on Intel Processor Graphics (a.k.a. XenGT). Repositories - Xen: https://github.com/01org/igvtg-xen (2016q2-4.6 branch) - Kernel: https://github.com/01org/igvtg-kernel (2016q2-4.3.0 branch) - Qemu: https://github.com/01org/igvtg-qemu (2016q2-2.3.0 branch) This update consists of: - Support Windows 10 guest - Support Windows Graphics driver installation on both Windows Normal mode and Safe mode Known issues: - At least 2GB memory is suggested for Guest Virtual Machine (VM) to run most 3D workloads - Dom0 S3 related feature is not supported - Windows 8 and later versions: fast boot is not supported, the workaround is to disable power S3/S4 in HVM file by adding "acpi_S3=0, acpi_S4=0" - Using Windows Media Player play videos may cause host crash. Using VLC to play .ogg file may cause mosaic or slow response. - Sometimes when both dom0 and guest have heavy workloads, i915 in dom0 will trigger a false graphics reset, the workaround is to disable dom0 hangcheck in grub file by adding "i915.enable_hangcheck=0". Next update will be around early Oct, 2016. GVT-g project portal: https://01.org/igvt-g Please subscribe mailing list: https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/igvt-g More information about background, architecture and others about Intel GVT-g, can be found at: https://01.org/igvt-g https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc14/technical-sessions/presentation/tian http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/XenGT-Xen%20Summit-v7_0.pdf http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/XenGT-Xen%20Summit-REWRITE%203RD%20v4.pdf https://01.org/xen/blogs/srclarkx/2013/graphics-virtualization-xengt Note: The XenGT project should be considered a work in progress. As such it is not a complete product nor should it be considered one. Extra care should be taken when testing and configuring a system to use the XenGT project. -- Thanks, Jike On 04/28/2016 01:29 PM, Jike Song wrote: > Hi all, > > We are pleased to announce another update of Intel GVT-g for Xen. > > Intel GVT-g is a full GPU virtualization solution with mediated pass-through, > starting from 4th generation Intel Core(TM) processors with Intel Graphics > processors.
