• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

Apache CloudStack UI, Agent, API, etc.

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

Apache CloudStack 4.11.0.0 (LTS)

SUMMARY

With the release of gim (https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualization), the AMD FirePro is now supported on the KVM hypervisor. Similar to NVIDIA's GRID or Tesla, the AMD FirePro allows KVM/ESXi/XenServer guests to utilize VF's to enhance graphics performance. The AMD FirePro requires the use of SR-IOV and IOMMU to pass VFs. I would like to see support for the AMD FirePro MxGPU in Apache CloudStack. As time progresses, we are going to possibly develop this ourselves.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Add the AMD FirePro as an option in Service Offering > GPU. When chosen, the user can choose how many VFs they want to pass to the virtual guest.
