Thank you for joining us this week for the Windows Server Summit! Q&A is now closed, but all sessions are available on demand so you can watch and learn when it is convenient for you. We hope you enjoyed the event.
- Regarding GPU partitioning, can we partition a single GPU into multiple profiles, such as creating 2GPU and 4GPU profiles from the same GPU?
- Nicole_Bourain
Microsoft
Yes, that is correct. There is a max number of partition counts that can be created, and that depends on the specific GPU driver.
- Will GPU-P someday be formally avaliable on Client Hyper-V as a feature with a configuation UI? Indeed many home users are using it through scripts, and Windows Sandbox seems to be using it. Moreover, recent Readon & Geforce consumer GPUs are also supporting partitioning.
- Nicole_BourainThanks for your question and insights. Currently we are focused on Azure Stack HCI & Windows Server for GPU-P support.
Welcome! Supercharge your datacenters with Hyper-V and virtualized GPUs is starting now. If you have any questions or feedback for our product teams, please post them here in the Comments.
- Will this work with any nVidia GPU or are there minimum requirements for the architecture of the GPU?
Short answer: Yes.
I implemented P-GPU countless times, with everything from a 1050 up to 4090 and RTX-A Series and i got it working always. Consumer GPUs might not be officially supported or recommended, but they work just fine. Even the CPU integrated GPUs of Ryzen 7 & 9 can be used this way, it's not much, but better than nothing and it makes a big difference for video decoding, office workloads and the very GPU heavy internet browser.
