GVM is a GPU Virtual Machine for x86 computers.

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

  1. Survey available information on Mdev/SR-IOV internals (rough notes, sketches). (in progress)
  2. Comprehensive documentation of Mediated Device Internals. (in progress)
  3. 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).
  4. Adjustments to GVM Planning/Software Programming.

Software Programming

  1. 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).
  2. Creation of gvm.ko submodule interface (suitable for use with interchangeable processor modules such as gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko).
  3. Creation of gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko processor submodules.
