GVM is a GPU Virtualization Machine for Linux on x86 hardware. It consists of a loadable kernel module, gvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko.
Plan
- Survey available information on Mdev/SR-IOV internals.
- Comprehensive documentation of Mediated Device Internals (in progress).
- Meta-analysis of collected Mediated Device Internals documentation (draw diagrams to explore first principles concepts, come up with working abstractions about device mediation for use with C code).
- Adjustments to GVM Planning/Software Programming.
Software Programming
- Creation of simple gvm.ko core based on Mediated Device Internals meta-analysis (common interrupt and memory management functions suitable for use with driver submodules).
- Creation of gvm.ko submodule interface (suitable for use with interchangeable processor modules such as gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko).
- Creation of gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko processor submodules.
