GPU/vGPU Support on VMware
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/3527#issuecomment-565761264
 
 
   The patch specifically targets the older Kepler generation GRID cards, which 
are no longer supported by NVIDIA or hardware vendors. Newer cards may work via 
PCI passthrough, which seems to be supported by this patch. But I don't know 
for sure, because I currently don't have a system where I could test this.
   
   On the other hand, NVIDIA has released newer data centre frameworks, such as 
[vComputeServer](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/virtual-gpu-technology/),
 which don't seem to be covered by the patch. I'm also not sure how they 
integrate with VMware and other hypervisors.
   
   In case you wan't to give it a shot yourself: I recently did a bit of 
research on how much a DC-grade system would cost and which hardware is 
suitable. The most affordable current-generation solution seems to be the Tesla 
T4, and you can get a 1RU Supermicro machine with four T4 cards, 2 Xeon Gold 
CPUs and 384GB RAM for about 20'000$. If you want to use vComputeServer, that 
will cost you another 50$ per GPU per year. One single T4 card is about 2300$.
