Phoronix: Local Virtual GPU Display Support Is About Ready For Intel Linux Systems

Many of you have expressed interest in Intel's virtual GPU pass-through support "GVT" and with Linux 4.16 the kernel-side bits have come together for local vGPU display support...

Nice that thing happening. But more interesting for me is, what is with the AMD Hardware. The Hardware has virtualization support for share the gpu with the host and guest at the same time. is there any progress?
What the state of AMD MxGPU for Linux and Radeon Hardware?

Source? I wasn't aware that AMD had anything equivalent?

good thing if this work like it should, no need for windows host in 3d apps or vmware

I named the marketing name of the feature "AMD MxGPU".

That is for their professional market cards, it's SR-IOV, APUs won't support that, that stuff is incompatible to using the vfio mediated devices interface on APUs afaik.

I've provided some benchmarks and a pre-built 4.15 kernel and 2.10 qemu w/ GVT and Dambuf wired in for Archlinux users. You can find them here:

Kernel side appears to be ready with 4.16-rc1
Qemu patches are still not merged
