Intel Releases New Versions Of KVMGT & XenGT

Intel has released their first new versions of XenGT and KVMGT for 2016 for GPU virtualization solutions for Xen and KVM, respectively.

These Intel GPU virtualization solutions provide media pass-through of Haswell graphics cores and newer. A virtual GPU instance is exposed to each KVM/Xen VM for "a good balance among performance, feature, and sharing."

Today's Intel KVMGT / GVT-g for KVM release has better support for Broadwell processors and the host kernel is upgraded to Linux 4.2.

With today's XenGT update there is Skylake support, support for multiple Windows / Linux VMs simultaneously, backwards compatibility support for Haswell and Broadwell, and the supported kernel has been re-based to Linux 4.2.
