The vast majority of Intel server chips of the Xeon E3, Xeon E5, and Xeon E7 product lines support VT-d. The first—and least powerful—Xeon to support VT-d was the E5502 launched Q1'09 with two cores at 1.86 GHz on a 45 nm process. [2]
GPU virtualization is used in various applications such as desktop virtualization, [1] cloud gaming [2] and computational science (e.g. hydrodynamics simulations). [3] GPU virtualization implementations generally involve one or more of the following techniques: device emulation, API remoting, fixed pass-through and mediated pass-through.
Generic components of a graphics card. Note that the VGABIOS is a separate chip located on the graphics card, and not part of the GPU. Practically all processing units require basic initialization, not just GPUs. Video BIOS is the BIOS of a graphics card in a (usually IBM PC-derived) computer. It initializes the graphics card at the computer's ...
Comparison of the I/O memory management unit (IOMMU) to the memory management unit (MMU).. In computing, an input–output memory management unit (IOMMU) is a memory management unit (MMU) connecting a direct-memory-access–capable (DMA-capable) I/O bus to the main memory.

It requires an external pass-through VGA cable hooked up from the 2D card into the Voodoo card’s passthrough VGA port. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Voodoo2's third chip was a second TMU that allows a second texture to be drawn during the same graphics engine pass, and thus with no performance penalty.
Direct passthrough (GVT-d): the GPU is available for a single virtual machine without sharing with other machines Paravirtualized API forwarding (GVT-s): the GPU is shared by multiple virtual machines using a virtual graphics driver; few supported graphics APIs ( OpenGL , DirectX ), no support for GPGPU
A major field of application for SR-IOV is within high-performance computing (HPC). The use of high-performance InfiniBand networking cards is growing within the HPC sector, and there is early research into the use of SR-IOV to allow for the use of InfiniBand within virtual machines such as Xen.
