GPUs compatible with [Virtual Function I/O Mediated devices](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/vfio-mediated-device.html) (vfio-mdev) can be split into multiple virtual GPUs (vGPUs). GPUs compatible with [Virtual Function I/O Mediated devices](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/vfio-mediated-device.html) (vfio-mdev) can be split into multiple virtual GPUs (vGPUs).
vGPUs can be assigned to virtual machines or containers. In turned, these vGPUs can then be assigned to virtual machines or containers.
Contrary to paravirtualized GPUs (e.g. virtio-gpu), virtual GPUs do not need specialized drivers.
