      Software to allow partitioning gpu resources among multiple virtual machines instead of just assigning the one PCIe device to a single VM. Very useful for having a single GPU do 3D acceleration on a host and multiple guests at the same time.

        Right now on Linux, it’s only possible with Nvidia, right? I have an old 1060 on my server. (all-AMD on my Desktop).

    The other option is to use VirtIO with Native Context support as a software based partitioning scheme that is relatively lightweight compared to the mdev approach.
