AMD Open-Sources GPU Virtualization Module, Radeon Support on Roadmap

AMD has open-sourced its "GPU-IOV Module" for virtualization with Instinct accelerators. This Linux kernel module utilizes SR-IOV for hardware virtualization with KVM, offering GPU virtualization, virtual function configuration, GPU scheduling, hang detection and FLR reset, and PF/VF handshaking. Currently supporting Instinct MI300X on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with ROCm 6.4, the code is available on GitHub. Importantly, AMD's roadmap includes bringing this SR-IOV based virtualization to consumer Radeon GPUs, a long-requested feature.
