One Line Summary

Review vSVM requirements, use cases and technical challenges

Abstract

Exposing SVM capable devices to VM’s require virtual IOMMU exposed in the VMcareful thought into specific use cases and the different component’s involved interact with each other. The goal of this topic is to introduce the different components involved, expected use cases for vSVM and top technical challenges. Expect the discussion to set direction for future work to solve some of the top issues and facilitate discussion for subsequent topics in the agenda.
